Jesus. And I spent close to $100k with high priced lawyers trying to get a legit technology patent pushed through and couldn't get it past the fucking examiners.

insanity - can't blame the judge, blame the idiots at the Patent Office for handing out such an absurd patent.

Need to blame the patent office and Yahoo's inability to show prior art. The judge just is supposed to follow/interpret the law.

Article does not give enough information to make a statement either way. Just says yahoo's lawyers are potentially considering one.

Guessing because some have not heard from them in a couple years since a couple companies settled, most others laughed and acted like typical selfish asses as always, while homegrown (and those that sent them money) to this day still fights them over that 1 patent - which they hold many such patents.

Yes, and unlike the last time around where they employed the "shotgun" approach, this time they concentrated all their fire at Yahoo. They know that once a judgement has been won and defended against a large player like Yahoo, the precedent will be set and they'll be able to then rape all the small players.
