Patent trolls are a scourge for technology companies like Intel and Apple. Now the two tech giants have teamed up to take down one of the biggest, Softbank-financed Fortress Investment Group. Intel and Apple have filed an antitrust lawsuit against Fortress, alleging the company has stockpiled patents expressly for the purpose of suing companies like Intel and Apple to extract profit, according to Reuters.
