be patent

"Some of our greatest inventors would be patent trolls under this law. Our universities would be patent trolls."

Companies like Unwired Planet are privateers, or perhaps a better term would be patent trolls for hire.

By this very broad definition, universities — which license their patents instead of marketing products directly — would be patent abusers.

International Business Machines Corp, one of the largest holders of patents, prefers that most software be patent eligible.

So this isn’t trolling even: not only is it about copyright not patents, but it’s not trolling so therefore it most certainly cannot be patent trolling.
