Trolls don't like fighting in courts, because most of their patents are utter junk. They rely on protection racket intimidation when courts are avoided and they are paid for that.

So while fighting them in court is costly since it requires research of prior art and doing all the necessary work to invalidate those junk patents, it's still often a proper tactic to destroy them.

The Sisvel AV1 patent pool has more than a thousand patents...

And AOM has deep pockets to bust them or show how it doesn't apply. It's an alliance for a reason - let them work together then. More than a thousand sounds like complete bs already.

You can't counter sue Sisvel as Sisvel is just a patent pool, they don't make products.

You can bust their patents in court though if they try to sue. And their pool will start draining into the sewer. Patent trolls don't like that.

Expecting more than thousand patents to apply to AV1 is totally bs.
