Popular Mechanics has a nice recap this week on patent trolls and non-practicing entities. A recent study led by Boston University law professor James Bessen (Go Terriers!) found that organizations have lost half a trillion dollars from their bottom lines between 1990-2010 defending against patent litigation. The trolls themselves only gained about 9% of that wealth, and most of the money has been lost in the litigation process.
