No, I don't think i4i is a patent troll, and it wasn't my intent to imply they were.
I was rather pointing out that patent trolls also win with this verdict. Software patents are stronger, and are harder to overthrow in court, even if you have, for example, prior art.
My point wasn't to say anything about the specifics of this case, which are complicated, but rather that an unintended side effect is that it does help patent trolls.
