Patent Troll season
Thesea are of course, patent troll "companies" that are created by defunct enterprises to take advantage of the broken patent and judicial system.

Strategy : Hoard patents, build nothing and sue everyone with a big wallet. Hope for either a nice "get of of my hair settlement" or work the extortion angle by getting a clueless judge to threaten the halt of sales of billions of dollars of finished goods.
