@rootlabs Continuations are the start of the abuse, yes, but reexamination works even years after the patent is issued.

Rational behavior for patent trolls: have shills ask USPTO for "reexamination"; exploit "reexamination" procedure to add claims to patents.

@hashbreaker You can do that through continuations as well, adding more claims before the patent finally issues.
