A dirty-tricks team that searches out for possible infringement on account of others so that they can then buy the patents in order to make themselves a victim is no different than stepping in front of the car IMO. Your analogy is awful. There are plenty of times that a small company (or a person) wont have nearly enough resources to protect their IP. They would need millions to be able to pursue a resolution through the court system and that still entails the risk of losing. You would absolutely screw the small company or individual inventor if you didnt allow them to sell their IP. A company like Broadcom (or Qualcomm) can buy these assets and have the resources to fully protect/utilize these assets. Hmmm, allowing the free market to allocate a resource to the company that is best able to profit from it sounds a hell of a lot like capitalism to me. Slacker
