Sounds like a pretty generic patent that more than likely should fall under fair and reasonable. I think the right thing is to toss this case out.

Why are you replying to me? None of what you said was in any way related to what I said.

What you said wasn't really related to the article.

No, but that is because there was little that had to be said about the article itself. I just wanted to greet the new author.

You have no argument. My comment at least addresses the article.

Then it should have been in response to the article, not to me.

They are patent trolls. Quite popular.

You could have offered your opinion of the company's actions without bringing Apple into it.

It's Apple's fault, really. Thanks to their childish business practices, it's impossible not to think of Apple when talking about abusing the patent system. Even if the article was talking about a patent completely unrelated to smartphones or technology in general, I'd still think of Apple.

No, it only refers to companies using the messages for mass marketing with web links.
