Sad that many companies already settled and assuming are paying him to license the "interactive web". It's what happens when you negotiate with terrorists.

Kill our patent system already. I'm not saying nothing should exist to protect IP, but this outdated system needs to go.

If you ask me it looks like it is killing itself. Anything that can allow this will surely decay naturally, right?

The Internet has been saved again.

Jury says all the "interactive web" patents are invalid.

Apple brought that on themselves. I find it amusing to read about apple products being banned after they had/tried to do that to other companies.

It ain't only Apple. It's a revolving door with Microsoft, Google, and Apple, with the little guy being unable to even enter the market. Heck, look at poor Samsung...

Google does not sue that often, in fact they seem to be on the receiving end allot.

Currently in the MMO unemployment line.
Can I get $15/month for not playing them?
