Indeed, history’s earliest known patent troll was a patent lawyer, and the first recorded case of such a troll suing a practicing company occurred over a century ago.

Xerography was the invention of a patent attorney.

Indeed, history’s earliest known patent troll was a patent lawyer, and the first recorded case of such a troll suing a practicing company occurred over a century ago.
