What is a patent troll?
Patent trolls are companies whose business is suing other companies. They make nothing, sell nothing, and add nothing — they collect old patents and use them to extract settlements from companies that actually do things.
Cost of Inter Partes Review (IPR): a 2026 breakdown
An IPR ends most cases when the prior art is real. The all-in cost is roughly a tenth of full litigation — but only if you stage it right.
Finding prior art with free tools: Google Patents, Lens, Espacenet, and more

File your strongest art, file it well — or don't file at all if your strongest grounds aren't patents and publications. Estoppel is what makes IPR powerful for the system and dangerous for the defendant who underprepares.
