If this company is not much of value, you could call them a patent troll.

But Google says it is currently planned to oppose the attempts to 900 million dollars to 6,000 off the firesale did not bankrupt the company, Google Norvel placé himself as an anti-patent troll, alignement with the propriété intellectuelleother companies may not be used against the company or of its Ecosystem.

'' If Google take care to Nortel but a company which is aggressive on their robes patent, a patent troll, then he will be a good thing, '' discuss Joe Brockmeier network world. '' But it would be better if Google were versant that 900 million of dollars in lobbying for software can come too. "
