"So-called"?
So-called? I think troll is a good and descriptive word for them. A gazillion patents with no purpose except as ammunition in a lawsuit. Companies whose sole reason for existence is to sue people. A minefield of software patents, many of which are so obvious that nearly every software writer on the planet could be "violating" them. Shotgun approaches to suing people for patent violations: "Let's keep a large portfolio and sue people we don't like by throwing every patent we have at them and hope something will stick." It's the most ridiculous thing on the face of the planet, and frankly it needs heavy reform.

The only thing that amazes me is that anybody would actually try to defend this behavior as somehow acceptable.
