I wasn't even sure that was possible? I guess it just seems a little antithetical to the idea of patents to just be able to wholesale ban another party from even using it at all.
Thats what the patent system is designed to do.
sometimes an entity may object to the use of their patent for one reason or another, or charge some absurd or unreasonable amount. it's usually some sort of moral or ethical thing.
Really interesting episode of This American Life covered a patent trolling and a lot of the finer points regarding patent law. Episode 441
