Chuck Schumer actually said...

"It is the little people who cannot afford the suits."

"It is really wrong for them to say, 'I want my protection to be so complete and so great that I am going to allow the patent trolls to continue.'"

"Getting hit with a patent lawsuit is like being forced onto a highway that has only two exits, both of which exact a high toll."

"They want people to settle. They want the low-hanging fruit. They want to intimidate people."
