The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act would make low-quality software patents easier to obtain and harder to challenge, enabling patent trolls and harming small businesses.

Patent litigation, particularly in gaming, is misunderstood, with both patent owners and alleged infringers portraying themselves as the victim.

Non-practicing entities (NPEs), labeled as 'patent trolls', should instead be recognized for their innovation-supporting role as 'patent elves'.

Confusion between NPEs and patent trolls misrepresents the beneficial contributions of many NPEs to economic and technological growth.
