The Costs of a Questionable Patent

The costs that a questionable patent imposes happen before anybody actually really gets to think about whether the patent is valid, right? The decision of whether a patent is valid ultimately has to go to a court. But lots things can happen with a patent before it goes to court. You can use the patent to threaten small startops. A lot of this sort of stuff happens before anyone really as the chance to test out, om for sure, whether the patents are valid.
