Combatting Patent Trolls

I recently commented on patent trolls.  I have been on the receiving end of being threatened by patent trolls.  I was informed that there is now an advertising effort underway to stop the madness, called Stop Bad Patents.  Sponsored by companies I have worked with, like FMI and EFF.      In the retail space, see FMI's view.  And the useful definitions and comments of EFF.
