GPC's Alexander Poltorak defines "patent trolls" and explains patent rights in a Wired.com blog post, "Calling Oracle Hypocritical, Google Denies Patent Infringement" (October 5, 2010): "A patent troll is someone who acquires a patent they didn’t invent and acquire for litigation only...but whether you acquire or invent, it is still property and there’s no difference or morality in how you came to possess the patent,” Dr. Poltorak said.
