Did you read this case, sent out as part of Aharonian's newsletter?
Symbol Technologies, Inc. v. Lemelson Med., Educ. & Res. Found. Ltd. (Jan. 23) (D. Nev.: Judge Pro)
There are some interesting points as far as not asserting your rights for a long time and then coming back and claiming you want money. The time frame was much longer, but it still doesn't seem right that Acacia could do what they are doing after sitting on their "patent" for a number of years without trying to enforce it.
I still can't believe this is even a serious issue. It's not like Acacia invented something and then other people used their invention. They patented something obvious and when everyone else also used that obvious idea, they waited until it became popular, then tried to sue people.
When did Acacia ever contribute anything or help create anything?
