If you could lay out ALL the patents that seem to cover the same areas or very closely are the same, they might just have something to say. Overlapping claims should justify pulling the patents or ordering a more narrow description you'd think. WHo knows.

You can definitely do that, but it won't prevent Acrapia from proceeding with a lawsuit. The USPTO has a huge backlog from what I hear, and it could take up to two years or more before they start the review.
