Why do trolls still try to sue Rackspace? They publicly proclaim their anti-troll policy. If 88% of these cases kill the troll when they go through the courts fully, I would stay well away from them if I was a patent troll.
Same with New Egg ... but I guess it's because patent trolls know the patents aren't worth much unless they try to hit every "big" user who can pay up. And even if 88% of cases are won if followed through, I bet 88% of the time they're not followed through, and the payments then keep trolls alive. Reform is still our best option, for software patents.

Don't know. But I'd guess it has something to do with that 12%.
