Someone PLEASE stop patent trolls' stroking their favorite tool, cries Google and friends

The definition of a troll for the article is a company that does not produce a product so this is not MS or Google or any of the rest. I don;t actually have an issue with a patent but believe it should not be able to be sold and should only be valid for time...probably based on the cost needed to invent.

So a swipe gesture has a shorter patent period than a specific formula or something...anyway that is my thoughts on this.
