Lazy is a stronger and more contemptuous term than indolent.

  7. To spend in idleness] to waste; to consume; -- often followed by away; as, to idle away an hour a day.

"The increased importance of intellectual property assets like patents and patent portfolios, along with the added complexity of valuing and analyzing risk for these information goods, has created a marketplace populated by players ill-equipped to handle the high transaction costs and information asymmetries representative of inteHectual property transactions. Accordingly, entities that can lower net transaction costs and improve information access will be able to take advantage of the unique nature of these assets."
