Others licensing is not evidence of patentability

I love it when a "patent troll" uses licensing agreement with another company as evidence that their patent is valid.

The fact that somebody was dumb enough to sign a licensing agreement and pay money for an invalid patent is by far any evidence of patentability of their product. It is most likely that the companies have a cross-licensing (meaning they get the license by default) or somebody decided that is was cheaper to just pay a few bucks than spend millions in layer fees.
