Patent Troll Nathan Myhrvold Declares Patent Trolling To Be A Good Thing

Just make it that you have to incorporate your patent into a product your company makes, or must license it out. (Be proactively seeking licensees in fact). You must sue at first wrongful use (NTP waited years to sue Rim), and only after failure to agree to licensing terms. Licensing must be t reasonable rates. (50% f the sales price of a device is not reasonable.) Due diligence must be performed by the patentee (the patent holder must look for prior art, and show what sort of search was performed), and makers must also perform due diligence (ensue they aren't infringing).

Right now it's all dog eat dog.
