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

Also the case in Australia and the UK. Not that the winner gets all their costs back (60% is a figure I've seen bandied around) but it still creates a significant disincentive. Probably a good thing in the case of patent trolls, but not necessarily in other situations.

They're certainly welcome to the overly-litigious situation we have in the US. I would trade in a heartbeat.
