So, if “non-practicing entity” isn’t the right term, what is? I propose something much simpler: “patent-holder.” That’s all that really matters, and puts the focus where it should be – on the patent itself. There isn’t a need to categorize the holder beyond that.

Yeah. There is. Trolling vs. the intended exercise of this "negative right"? : "Its the difference between using a feather and using a chicken." We know it when we see it.
