Instead of patent trolls we may say patent trolling; apparently large companies such as Apple, are the biggest trolls at the end of the day.
But typically that's the large fighting the large, as opposed to the NPEs the article points out. NPEs aren't just rogue states with nuclear weapons (big companies threatening each other), they're like smaller, terroristic organizations who literally terrorize smaller companies into giving them money.
