Patent reform in America 美国专利法改革 Trolls on the hill 山上的巨魔 Congress takes aim at patent abusers 国会瞄准了滥用专利权者 IN SCANDINAVIAN folklore trolls were dumpy with grotesque faces and uncontrollable hair. 在斯堪的纳维亚半岛的民间传说里，巨魔们都是长着丑脸、披着乱发的矮胖形象。 These horrifying creatures have given their name to patent trolls, who buy up lots of vaguelyworded patents and then use them to extract cash from unsuspecting victimswho pay themoff rather than risk a pricey lawsuit. 这些令人恐惧的生物已经将名头赋予那些专利流氓们了，这些人收购大量含糊名称的专利并用来赚无辜受害者的钱，而这些受害者宁愿肤浅给流氓们也不愿意冒险打官司花更多的钱。 It is not hard to identify the obviousones, but writing laws to catch them without endangering everyone else is. 现在不难去定义这些很明显的案例，但是立法去抓这些流氓们而不伤及无辜就有难度了。 Having tried once with the America Invents Act of 2011, Congress is having another go. 既2011年的美国发明法案的尝试后，国会正在尝试另一种方法。 |
