Linuxtag: The Linux Defenders: Stop the Trolls, Protect Linux, Further Innovation http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-162887/linuxtag:the-linux-defenders:stop-the-trolls-protect-linux-f Posts in the discussion thread "Linuxtag: The Linux Defenders: Stop the Trolls, Protect Linux, Further Innovation" - Patent Trolls are an ever-growing threat to global innovation. These IP aggregators purchase low-quality patents and use them as leverage to hijack potential revenue and profits from hardware and software companies, our largest economic driver. This causes entrepreneurs to reconsider launching companies, while CEOs devote more of their time and resources to managing intellectual property. New online and offline tools and services are becoming available to combat Patent Trolls and enable technology companies to focus on their core business.
