Summary
Likening the evolution of the patent market to the evolution in "markets for intangibles like capital, debt" the author draws the conclusion that patent trolls provide a benefit to the marketplace. Renaming them "patent dealers," the author suggests that their role in the market is one of a necessary intermediary, "fostering effeciency." The author concludes by urging caution when regulating/dealing with so-called trolls.
