Comment on Bill would force patent trolls to pay defendants' legal billsparent

If I remember correctly, the courts ruled against this practice, deciding that only the actual owner of a patent had standing to sue for infringement.

I'm not sure about patents, but at least with copyright the judge in the Righthaven case ruled that Righthaven lacked standing to sue because they didn't have exclusive rights to the copyright.
