Court Rules That “Patent Troll” Is Opinion, Not Defamation
Shame! I was hoping for some detailed analysis of what constitutes a troll.<p>For example, from Oxford I see "(in folklore) an ugly creature depicted as either a giant or a dwarf." Well, which is it?<p>Further to that, is Troll always a derogatory term? Some think of them as ugly, but apparently in Scandinavian folklore, trolls may be ugly and slow-witted, or look and behave exactly like human beings, with no particularly grotesque characteristic about them.<p>Again, these important issues are left unresolved by the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Truly an opportunity lost.
