Patent trolls are the reason for decline in American inventiveness. If anyone patents something worth while, the trolls (who never have invented anything and never will because they're just a company of lawyers) will drag he inventor into court saying they invented it first (which they didn't). If it seems like an unlikely scheme, it works because many inventors don't have the money to defend their patent and the trolls know it. So the trolls will "kindly" offer to take a settlement and drop their suit. So for the little guy, why bother inventing anything because it will be legally stolen from them.
