As trolls do not make any products they are immune to any other parties' patents, you can't keep them from enforcing their patents by holding other patents, and their patents doesn't become less valid by the existence of other patents. On the other hand, these kinds of patents can be useful to stifle uppity competitors like Android.

True. But don't they have a case going on in court right now? I would assume the new patent if granted would help Apple. I might be a little lenient on Apple but from what I see their only issue is with the implementation of multi-touch by their competitors (I could be wrong). I am not sure they care about Android's in-app purchases.
