Are You a "TROLL?"


No, we are not what many refer to as "copyright troll". Dallas Buyers Club, LLC's copyright enforcement efforts are distinguishable from what is commonly referred to as "trolling" actions because Dallas Buyers Club, LLC actually created and/or uses its copyright and its exclusive rights; that is it licenses and/or distributes Dallas Buyers Club and attempts to earn back it investment from the actual use of the copyright, and hoopes to earn a profit from such activities. Conversely, an intellectual property "troll" typically acquires rights in intellectual property , such as a patent, trademark or copyright, created by others, with the sole or primary business objective of filling infrigement actions to earn profit, rather than earning a profit through licensing or otherwise exploting its excludive right in the intellectual property.
