But the companies that did not settle did so because they know this patent is just plain BOGUS---even though they could well afford to settle, they did not.
And that says plenty about their integrity. And that will be remembered a LONG time.
The Homegrown group will probably be the ones to bust the acacia patent, and they will do it, because it is the right thing to do, for the betterment of all of us that use information.
There is a scene in the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird" when Atticus Finch walks into the courtroom and the people in the gallery quietly stand in his honor. It is a very poignant scene.
If you saw the movie you will remember.
In my mind the Homegrown group is Atticus Finch.
