there's a line between holding patents for (ostensibly) defensive purposes and actively using them for litigation against your competitors. The article that you didn't bother to read makes this point somewhere in the middle.

I'm curious as to what Google's history of active patent litigation has been. A lot has been said about them wanting to hold patents for defensive purposes and I wonder how that holds up against their legal history as I have no idea myself.
