The run-up to end of the announced grace period is going to be very interesting.

The problem is the smart webmasters are setteling. The stupid ones don't even know whats going on and have their heads up their asses or burried in the sand. The "fight for the principal of the thing / common good" crowd is going to wind up with a huge bill, win or lose.

If the patent is invalidated, expect a lengthy appeal process and all those companies that chose to settle suing acacia to get out of their agreement and saying "thanks for doing our dirty work".
