Trademark troll
Delete. This must be a neologism and I can find no support for it. It doesn't even seem to have any actual legal standing--someone who has no intent to use or does not use a trademark will lose it. So, unlike patent troll, this is an entirely pointless definition. Mmmbeer 03:02, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect into patent troll or Leo Stoller. Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 07:59, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Do not merge/redirect into patent troll or Leo Stoller. A trademark is not a patent. "Leo Stoller'" "trademark troll" returns only one Google hit, i.e. the present page . --Edcolins 10:41, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism. Google returns almost no relevant hits for this practice. Unless or until there is an established use of the expression, it would not be "encyclopedic" to keep the article. --Edcolins 10:41, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
