I have seen the term "patent troll" being applied to law firms who take patent cases on contingency. I guess the issue here is the definition of the term "patent troll". People tend to twist it freely to mean "somebody using some patents in a way that I don't like".

Too true. "Non-practicing entity" feels like (and is, I guess) doublespeak, but at least it would make it clearer that a law firm doesn't qualify.
