Too bad no one patented the idea of being a patent troll (a business method patent) - and could use to to sue patent trolls.



IBM patented patent trolling as a business model in 2007, but I like your evil, legal genius.


I've often thought that I missed a calling as a lawyer.


Unfortunately (or fortunately, really, from a broader perspective) you wouldn't be allowed to use the patent system to bar other people from asserting their rights in court.
