Acacia apparently has a clause in their licensing that if their patent is invalidated you agree to continue paying them.
[I saw the Acacia packet online earlier... someone care to point this clause out?]

As was mentioned on D$'s show the other night...
The contract is based on patent infringement, so if the courts decide there is no infringement taking place, then the contract would be void in its entirety.. but you'd probably have to take it to court again to get them off of your back, but.. this then becomes 'contract law'.
They've thrown that little clause in there to make it as hard as they can on people to get matters cleared up..
If one issue gets thrown out.. ya now have to go get yet another bit of nonsense thrown out.
This could very well be construed as harrassment..
