Remember when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, and proclaimed, to much applause, that they patented the hell out of it? Well, apparently Apple likes to boast about its own patents, but when it comes to dealing with other's they're not so willing. That is, if you believe Nokia: the largest phone manufacturer in the world has sued Apple for patent infringement.

At least with Nokia, their patents are in use withing almost their entire product line, and they sell 'em by the boat load.
So it's not trolling, not in the sense that their are patent holding firms, that do nothing but file patents, produce zero products, then promptly sue anyone who actually does produce something that even remotely resembles the patents.
That kind of business needs to be eradicated entirely, as in made completely illegal, with very stiff fines and jail sentences.
