This makes me wonder if there is a market for patent troll insurance. Pay a small monthly fee and get legal protection or money to hire your own counsel in the event of a lawsuit. It seems to be a pain point that small startups worry about, since it can be pretty deadly to a busines, even if they are innocent.
