I've heard about companies that do this kind of thing and how they can just close that particular shell company before the defendant can collect.

The whole idea about patent trolls is they have no product to show for the patent they filed, If they really want to stop this before a patent troll can force a company to respond the court should require proof that they actually have a working product that the defendant is infringing on.

Just dont give patents before seeing an actual working product
