This is actually a very important observation. The entire modus operandi of patent trolls is to go after the weak. Let's not kid ourselves when suggesting incompetent lawyers can't gain competence.
- throwawaykf05 11y ago> The entire modus operandi of patent trolls is to go after the weak. This is not true. Giants like Apple, Google and Microsoft get sued all the time. They face hundreds of troll lawsuits at any given time.
- akshatpradhan 11y agoCitation for hundreds of troll lawsuits? I'm only seeing one or two incidents when I google up Microsoft Patent Troll or Google Patent Troll.
- throwawaykf05 11y agoHere's one link: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/02/apple-top-target-of-patent-trolls-faced-92-lawsuits-in-three-years/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/02/apple-top-target-... Mentions Google, Apple and Samsung (respectively 192, 191, 151 lawsuits over last 5 years). Microsoft has mentioned similar numbers, but I can't find a reference off hand. Google for "patent trolls target Microsoft"
