similar to NTP case with RIM
Agree. These patent trolls (and there are many) collect many patents issued by our wonderful patent office.

Here's the scam. They sit on them until someone builds a product which, at best case, might have the rediculous patent issued employed which might represent 0.00000001 % of the value of the finished product.

Then, you sue to have the finished product halted by some judge - basically extortion by proxy. This is how NTP collected 1/2Billion from RIM.
