The "new breed" is described as:

"""Blackbird combines both a law firm and intellectual property rights holder into a single entity. In doing so, they remove legal fees from their cost structure and can bring lawsuits of potentially dubious merit without having to bear any meaningful cost. """

Prenda Law already patented that breed. Expect infringement suit shortly.



Prenda Law were copyright trolls, not patent trolls.

(Also, Prenda Law were actively inducing the infringement that thhey were prosecuting, and inventing shell companies as fake clients to conceal their own interest in the litigation.)


Your effort at being pedantic falls rather flat, as the "new breed" was described as "combines both a law firm and intellectual property rights holder into a single entity". The description did not specify patents.

Clearly, the Prenda-Structure patent reads on this infringing Blackbird organization.

(Also, it was a joke.)
