.... A Patent blocking HD-DVD and Blu-Ray
... Well, now that would hose Hollywood's plans to no end... not to mention the plans of all the hardware vendors. Patent on Blue LED diodes and lasers? Brilliant....
and more importantly they call out the companies on it now, seems a bit funny the holding firm waited until blu-ray won. the 21st century so far as been the century of "we bought that patent 10 years ago, but we are suing you now". -- [65 Arcanist]Filan(High Elf) Zone: Broadband Reports

Could be they had to wait for research firms to reverse engineer the technology to make sure it actually infringes on their patent. Sometimes that takes a couple years. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!"
