Patent Trolling for Fun and Profit

Interesting, in-depth profile of Raymond Niro, known to many as the first patent troll. The upshot: the ethics of trolling may appear questionable, and the dollar amounts are certainly staggering, but it can be a lifesaver for small-time inventors. And as a practice, it's here to stay.

Oddly, of the many companies discussed in the article, two are named "Schneider" and one is named "Schreiber."
