Your definition is not accurate. Just because one company raises more money than another does not make the company failing in the market place a patent troll. By this definition IBM is a patent troll.
I don't think amount raised has anything to do with it.
I'd say you are a patent troll anytime you are using a bullshit patent to extort a third party. The rub is what constitutes a bullshit patent, but "sending messages through a map UI" seems obviously in this camp. It sucks you have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for the courts to validate this logic though.
So by that definition, I'm sure IBM could be a patent troll, just like any other company with BS IP.
