Examples of patent troll in a Sentence
If you go too far and become too aggressive, you become a (patent) troll, if you want to go about monetizing your patents in a non-aggressive, legal way then it takes time, and in a turnaround time is one of the key commodities you don't have, so balancing those two is very difficult.
Assuring better quality patents will help blunt the patent troll problem.
