Indeed... And you think when they get into court they won't be countersued
into non-existence by samsung, apple, HP, nokia and all the rest they sued?
They don't have a leg to stand on, prior art exists years before they filed
their patent and they've launched suits against almost a dozen multibillion
dollar communication companies.
This is even stupider than SCO at their worst. SCO only launched suits
initially against IBM. This lot thought "Let's see if we can score a
hattrick!"
