Sorry but I can't get too excited about lawsuits concerning patent rights. Businesses sue each other regularly over patents, names, mottos, logos, etc. It costs companies lots of money to go to court over these issues but most can well afford it. We all know that government has endless amounts of money to have court cases go on forever. How important is this issue? In my opinion, not very but perhaps I'm missing something.
