At the risk of responding to an AC, I have to point out that you are most likely new to patent law and naive how it is applied.
From what (little) I know, they have a patent portfolio that likely goes back more than ten years. So it's quite possible some of that reads on Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and Apple products. Patent suits take a lot of time and a common strategy is to take on one big company, win that case, and then collect license fees from the rest using that judgement as a club.
FWIW, Immersion had been around for a while now. They have reduced their patented technologies to practice and have worked a legitimate licensing model. These are not patent trolls by any definition. Just a technology company working to get paid for the IP they developed first.
projecting your anger by posting something that is just plain and simply wrong?
Or the new company could be called A.V.Roe and go into the fighter airplane business and make a fighter called something like "The Arrow". Most of the best engineers from that program left Canada to work with NASA taking men to the moon. Lost to Canada forever.
Supposedly the RAF tactics were to let the Argentine fighter bombers complete their attack runs while the ships were defended with chaff and decoys. Then have the slower Harriers would jump them on their return flights while they were short of fuel. The lasers might have played a big role during the attack phase?
so about as effective as the Harrier jump jets were in defending the fleet ?
I don't know squat about your "investments" but I bow to your 4 digit slashdot ID.
I now have two years worth of data that showing a clear 10% drop in mileage for my Nissan Altima using E10. Its almost a break even to buy the more expensive ethanol free "high test" at my local BP station.
If there was valid prior art, do you not think RIM's lawyers would have looked for it and used it ?
These patent cases tend to be very technically complex and turn on very fine details of exact wording. Armchair lawyer's commenting in these threads should probably stick to their day jobs.
I've got mod points tonight but I'm going to post instead. Take a look at this link http://craphound.com/makers/ for an interesting scifi spin on what the OP is thinking about. Free download available - its a good read.
