Acacia In The News Again Today

Mutt · 02-16-2003

I wonder how long the process will go on before companies cave in.
So Acacia is prepared to sue 37 companies in separate law suits? That's alot of dough. Can't a court decide that only one case will be heard cuz it's basically the same case against everybody? Seems like a waste of taxpayers money to have this case made more than once. If they lose, everybody can breathe a sigh of relief and watch Acacia go the appeal route - if Acacia wins, pay the license and move on.

Not really sure how this works when one company is suing many companies for the same thing. It's a class action lawsuit in reverse.
