- Do your research. Find out about the NPE and how legitimate they are, you can find so much on social media which will reveal how big of a threat they are! Professor Tal said so himself: social media platforms like Twitter are being used by people to 'sell themselves', see if the NPE is doing this!
- Be public about the situation. Tell the media what is going on so the patent troll is publicized.
- Share information and resources by open-sourcing prior art with the relevant community. In doing this, you will make it harder to for the patent troll not only to sue you but also to sue others.
- Commit to your gut. You know your product and if you have actually infringed a patent or not. If you do not want to settle and think you can win a trial case, go with it and don't listen to other people to settle!
