Guys, I do not want to dissappoint you - but Sig and I have both read them all, and we have NO clue what they mean. Patent attorneys are a special breed I guess....
It seems to me that the US Patent office has been manned by monkey the past few years, and have been approving all kinds of wide open ideas. I really think the Courts or the Congress needs to get involved and invalidate all these type of patents, especially those on the internet. Some of these are so wide open they cover everything, and if they were enforced could hinder the development of the internet and commerce.
Basicly the same reason Congress has refused to tax internet commerce, is the same reason they need to do something about this patents. The problem is, it is hard to go to your congressman and complain when you are in the porn business. Acacia knows this, and that is one of the reasons they chose this industry to target.
