Another well known patent troll is Apple, patenting your hands movements and phone shape since 1984. Allowing the marketing industry to replace the hardware industry product after product.
Well, last time I checked, "patent troll" wasn't on the dictionary.
But let's all accept the definition that says that big corporations can do everything they want, while small inventors (yes, they exist) must concede unilaterally of any rights. No way there's a better definition around.
I thought the accepted definition was a company whose only source of revenue was patent licenses and lawsuits, not products or services based on said patents.
Doesn't help much apparently, since android is one of the largest software design 'thefts' ever, and the only thing they couldn't include was 'swipe to unlock' and the apple logo.
I think they do for chips and stuff, not sure about design. Much harder to enforce most design stuff because once you've found 'the good way' it seems super obvious.
