Those "owners" bought patents from a third party and then spun them out soley for the purpose of filing lawsuits. That's exactly what a company like Intellectual Ventures does. Now Intellectual Ventures is an honest business?
If Apple was not involved, I doubt the spin would be so positive. Apple doubled down in support of trolling. A part of me wishes for every such company to lose their own defense in similar cases as this "Smartphone patent". Maybe then we could have meaningful changes made to patent law.
