"When the subject of patents and cross-patent consortia comes up everyone is a troll."
I dunno if I'd label businesses that actually make products as "trolls," since they may just be defending their products.
It's the businesses where the patents themselves are considered the "products" that I think are the real trolls.
IMO there should really be a requirement that you actually make the product listed in the patent before you can defend it in court.
