If you're going to be in a fight, wouldn't you go for the critical damage zones first? I know they just want money, hopefully the judge will see that too.

This annoys the hell out of me, personally. If I was in charge of the patent office, here'd be my rules: 1. If you can't make it work within 5 years of "inventing" it, it's fair game again. You have to reapply 2. If you can already do it, you can't patent an "improvement." 3. If you have a legit patent, and someone else uses it without you doing anything about it for more than 2 years, you don't deserve to bank off it. (RIM vs. NTP) That would solve alot of this crap right from the get-go. They won’t sue CSR because they probably don’t have NEAR the amount of cash reserves that Nokia, Samsung, and Matsushita have.
