    As the legal copyright holder of the doll known as “Troll” I must insist…

    Happy July!

  • Ambiguity

    Makes more sense in the context of the full patent.

    It’s a lure. I wish there really were troll lures.

      I like “FIG. 6″.
      I think there are troll lures, someone has certainly gone to a lot of effort to patent one anyway, I can’t believe they wouldn’t then make some.
      Myself, I would have thought it more effective to have troll food on the lure, rather than another troll, but maybe they are cannibalistic.

       I was going say, 1997? All makes sense now.

      Also these acre clearly troll patents and not patent trolls.
