Patent Troll or Not, Paul Allen Finds a Friend in Steve Wozniak

Well, this is kind of funny. Steve Wozniak, still an Apple employee, has defended Paul Allen and patent trolls in general. “I’m not at all against the idea of patent trolls cause I’ve had friends who just got forced into bankruptcy by bigger people who had more money and could have a lawsuit against them, forced them to be their own lawyers, and in the end, sometimes they’re victorious. But it’s a real hard way to do it. So if you’re going to have a patent and say ‘It’s worth some money, I’ll sell it’, well, even if Paul Allen makes a fortune off of it, I think he had the insights to recognize which patents were valuable.” Apple is one of the companies Allen is suing.
