Enemies of patent reform have a hard time making up their mind about the court system. On the one hand, their supposedly “conservative” allies claim that the court system is a better place to pursue reform of the patent system, because courts are less likely to make sweeping changes to the system that might hurt it, and are already too happy to give proponents of reform what they want. On the other hand, when they think conservatives aren’t listening, trolls are all too happy to explicitly endorse sweeping legislation from the bench to protect their parasitic business models.
