There is no such thing as a patent troll
This pejorative term has been created to garner attention and to confuse the public. A patent is just like any other piece of property. If one acquires the rights to property then one should be able to assert those rights.
I have not heard of land trolls, building trolls or housing trolls? Landowners and landlords have been asserting their rights almost since the beginning of time. Why is this is this any different from asserting patent rights.
Moreover, if I have invented something but lack the funds to fully develop it, I should be able to sell those rights to anyone and such buyer should be able to assert those newly acquired rights in "my" invention.
