In the case of a patent troll, the competitors are probably also on the future target list. It's in their interest to help fight this troll.

I know it's just TV, but this situation played out differently on Silicon Valley. Instead, the competitors hopped to the front of the line to pay off the patent troll before a successful case emboldened the troll to raise their price. Has anyone actually heard of things playing out this way in reality?

I wonder if paying the troll wouldn't just get them more trolls, now that they appear to be a soft target?

Or they already paid / cut a deal...

This idea that they might care is just an assumption.
