Under current law, companies face greater liability if they willfully infringe. Let's say you do a review and find there's a chance that you infringe upon the troll's patent. You decide, nevertheless, that the risk-to-reward here is worth it and go ahead. If you are subsequently sued by the troll, the troll can point to your review and say that because you had prior knowledge of the patent, your infringement was willful. The troll's likelihood of success on this argument will depend on the particulars of the review process, but it does create an additional headache for the defense either way.
