US Supreme Court made a rule in 2011 for making it easier for defeating the patent trolls. The law for patent has been challenged by the company who are attempting to patent something already patented by someone a long ago. A very interesting case came in front of the Supreme Court where Cuozzo Speed Technologies LLC claiming to have made an invention which could alert the drivers when they are crossing the speed limit and trying to rush on the roads.

The intention was to create a life hack device which could protect and safeguard lives on road. One of the GPS technology company Garmin challenged the invention in the patent office saying that their claims were not innovative if their product is compared with the products of the other companies in the market.

The cost involved in filing and defending a case in the court is very cheap and that is probably why Apple has always been the number one targets for the companies. Apple chose to settle the cases upon patent trolls on numerous occasions because they ever wanted to be a part of the legal loop. Apple is one of the few off companies to be having the largest number of patents in the world. With every application filed by Apple for getting their patent approved, n numbers of companies have put up their case for defending Apple from getting the nod for their patents.

Apple has also been knocked down a number of times because of the silliest reasons by the other companies. They seem to be the favorite choice in the eye of their competitors. The similar case is also with Google and other well‐known technology companies during their attempt for filing patents. It is not always easy to tackle such situations always therefore companies like to settle such issues.
