This video discusses a lawsuit where Valve, the company behind Steam, is fighting against Leigh Rothschild, who is described as a "patent troll." A patent troll is someone who buys patents not to create products, but to sue other companies for alleged infringement to get money.

Valve had a previous agreement with Rothschild in 2016 for a broad license to his patents. However, Rothschild's companies later demanded more money for patents Valve believed were already covered. This led Valve to sue Rothschild in Washington State, using its strong anti-patent troll laws, to challenge these claims.
