Well I supposed that was my underlying question. I understand that Google has taken the position where they're effectively holding the patents in good faith, but my question is if it would be beneficial for them to open license them so smaller companies could find them cheaply in a discovery for a patent infringement case so nonsense troll cases like the new law seems to be trying to fight could be more effective or whether it would be better to let google safeguard them just in case. (Possibly my longest run-on sentence ever)
