That is what I think. It's not a huge problem for Apple. It seems like to stay competitive in this market you have to play the troll's game and Apple has shown many times that it knows the game very well. In the end, it probably balances out. I'd like to see numbers on this.

The real issue is small players getting buried under legal fees.

Apple getting trolled sucks for the rest of us too sometimes. FaceTime was going to be an open standard.
Hopefully if the big boys get burned by trolls, they will finally decide to do something about the current patent system.
They're the biggest trolls, like OP said.

Patents are a fucking joke in the age of technology. Fucking 20 year monopoly for a button, laughable.
