For a patent search? Too little.

Screwing over a patent troll? That’s priceless.

No amount of money can provide that satisfaction. Heck, I’m not even impacted and I’m gleefully happy. Whoever helped deserves a free beer. Patent trolls are a blight.



The problem is there's a lot of patent tools and only a few make the news. Passion can't win them all.


Patent trolls win because they are a protection racket, and it takes resources to fight them.

This battle took 2 years, I think ?


> Passion can't win them all.

If you do the numbers, yes it can. There are a lot of people who could do this searching.
