Companies aren't stockpiling patents as a defense against patent trolls. They don't work because the trolls don't make anything that could infringe on a patent, unless your patent is about patent lawsuits (don't laugh, I heard there are some). ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
So when a company says their patents are only defensive, that's probably not the full story. ![permalink](http://scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif)
