Nice set of thoughtful comments about IV...Grégoire<br /><br />Nice set of thoughtful comments about IV. One thought--why do insist on calling IV a patent troll? Master of PR, mais oui; business model, for sure; flawed business model, maybe. IMHO,if we want to speak about patent trolls, the place to focus is on the law firms that manage the activist litigation troll practices. They too have a business model, quite different it seems to me and posssiblly lucrative as well.Neil Wilkofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200865773480720037noreply@blogger.com
