Did anyone read the PDF?

the Fifth Affirmative Defense says that Acacia had their claims of one of their main patents (the '902 one) checked by a research company. The company made a report that basically said that the patent is _NOT_ novel. They had 28 references to stuff that talked about the same ideas. Most of them dated BEFORE the date on the 902 patent! They did not include that report when submitting it to the PTO...

very interesting.. (hope I didn't misunderstand)
