Re: [rant] Yet Another Frivolous Lawsuit

The patent is garbage to begin with, and never should have been issued. Number is 4,924,496

Umm, what exactly is your basis for establishing "garbage"? Are you a registered patent attorney or agent? Are you aware of applicable prior art that is not cited in the prosecution history?

I skimmed through the claims and although they are awash with "means for" language, that was pretty much the norm for that period of time.

Just because there is no prior art doesn't make the patent valid when actually scrutinized.

Patent trolls need to die and when these stupid cases thrown out, the patent troll fined a few tens of millions, to hundreds of millions for abuse of process.
