Even if they aren't earning income, they should be able to show they had a product/prototype actually built with the patent before the company they're using developed their product. That way legitimate patent holders who weren't able to monetize their technology but had a working prototype will still be able to protect their patents. So many times, patent trolls hold patents to "ideas" rather than working inventions with prototypes.
