   Maybe one should point out that "NPE" is polite lawyer-speak for   
   "patent troll".  The initialism stands for "non-practicing entity" --   
   i.e., a business that does not actually use the patents it owns   
   outside of the courtroom.  The federal courts in Texas are notoriously   
   solicitous of patent claims, so there is an incentive for patent   
   trolls to be based there.
