Another lawyer here. I think Octane Fitness was what really did in most parent trolls. Before the trolls were extorting small companies and playing the lottery with big companies (might win and get a huge settlement/judgement). With the risk of fees being assessed the price of entry is getting higher.

We’re seeing the same thing now with disability accessibility suits. There’s a push to allow fee shifting in an effort to mitigate those exploitive cases.

The trolls are in it for money. Unsurprisingly then, when there’s the risk that THEY might lose money they’re quicker to back down.
