Pied Piper was threatened with a lawsuit by a patent/IP troll. When Richard went to talk to him during his “everything can be solved by just talking it out” phase he learned the guy was also the owner of music copyright for an old song that he used to threaten musicians.
His solution was to find an older example of that song (using their software) and threaten the guy with losing his copyright on the song that was his main moneymaker.
So in this one case talking it out face to face did pay off. Unlike talking to Ed Chen
Yes, that show is notably fiction, though so firmly rooted in the reality of Silicon Valley that it was at times almost painful to watch while working and living there. Also everyone started calling me Gilfoyle.

Patent trolls are absolute scum of the earth.
the rothschilds can stand as scum of the earth on their own, without patent trolling once.
I’m reminded of that one Silicon Valley episode
Remind me?
