#1 Calling someone a "patent troll" is meaningless! It has no legal ramification!

#2 BY THE DEFINITION CITED, VPLM IS NOT A "PATENT TROLL"!!!! EVERY PATENT VPLM HAS WAS GRANTED TO VPLM!!!! VPLM DID NOT "OBTAIN THE RIGHTS" TO THE PATENTS!!!

#3 Thank you for this clarification!

a company that obtains the rights to one or more patents in order to profit by means of licensing or litigation

If you look at most patents are named by the inventor and not the specific company.. so technically this definition applies to all patent holders. Google has a patent for caller ID but on the patent info it says a guys name from New Jersey.. So that must make Google a patent troll, and MSFT for their patents they acquired in their XBox division that generate s 2 billion a year..

No, you didn't make that up - you simply misapplied it.

Voip-Pal acquired Digifonica - while entirely in the active pursuit and R&D stage of developing the initial suite of patents, and then, continued that work, actively employing engineers, and subject matter experts and furthering that same patent suite, and expanding upon it through engineering pursuits, discoveries and improvements, to become a company, which, now, has expanded, through applied science, from the original 5 patents, to include 17 Issued US patents, 3 Allowed US Patents, and 3 Granted patents internationally.

Doesn't really fit your "patent troll" definition, does it?

I rest my case.
