TIL that in 2011 the French government "invested" 100 million Euro to setup a company that was supposed to monetise patents by suing all around the planet. Despite some minimal "success" with an NFC patent, the concept that I would call patent trolling wasn't delivering the expected ROI (Return on Investment) and in 2022 the plug was pulled. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_Brevets
