Isn't it nice to be patent troll in the US.

You can threaten 1000's of entities with legal action to extort money, since
just defending against the allegation is very expensive. Then when a few of
those threats don't stick, all you have to do is "settle for nothing" to avoid
an actual trial. Nice.

The patent trolls are just a symptom, the legal system is the problem.

You leave a legal loophole and you'll find some parasitic scum that will
exploit it. Personally I find it hard to believe that the people running these
companies can sleep at night... But that is a different story.

Instead of Patent Trolls, you have an apathetic business environment,
crumbling infrastructure and no copyright protection at all. You just traded
one set of problems for another one

England has some useful things that the US should consider.

i) loser pays costs.

ii) if Ann is offered £X out of court, but declines it, and the case goes to
court and she's awarded £Y then she has to pay costs if £Y is less than £X.

iii) Costs are controlled.

There are considerable problems with the English legal system, and many people
are not able to seek justice through the court system. But this kind of thing
would probably prevent some of the abuses of the US system.
