I never said they were patent trolling. |
Really then what are you trying to say in your above quote?

You are quite missinformed about the whole law suit so let me educate you.
First question you should ask is why Apple and MS are suing HTC, B&N, Motorola, Samsung,etc... and not Google directly?
What is worse is while MS is suing for $. Apple is trying to shutdown their business.
Second Google has a very "Open innovation" stance to the point that it hurts them and their partners. They don't take patents out on most of their innovations and when they do they don't sue when their being infringed upon.
Take Apple now who sues everyone under the sun. (
Apple Sues Teen Who Sold Steve Wozniak His White iPhone 4).
Google has found themselves in a bind. Without a patent portfolio anybody who supports Android is under attack and either forced to pay to use patents or forced to withdraw from the market.
Google giving HTC those patents helps fight back.
