Kudos to Cloudflare. The mere existence of patent trolls should be enough to see how sick our current intellectual properties and copyright laws are.

Yeah, hats off to them. That was a great read, and I certainly appreciate their efforts to give these kinds of "businesses" the absolute kicking they deserve.

Somebody or some organisation had to start standing up to patent trolls for the situation to change and kudos to Cloudflare for choosing to be that organisation. Hopefully it will encourage others to do likewise.

I think companies small and large should pay for an insurance that will obliterate patent trolls with legal fees. They often win by bullying individual small companies. But if there’s a collective response then maybe they can’t get so far?

Lawsuit insurance is a thing for companies. But the policies probably only pay if you take the cheaper option of settling.
