Well if it was their IP, and they had it in a product, it’s theirs. They registered it over 10 years ago. Did Apple just magically come up with the same idea, or did they see and copy it?

A patent troll usually sits on patents they don’t use. This is a legitimate company with products. A small guy that cannot afford to file paperwork for all their stuff immediately shouldn’t be penalised.

One thing that is weird is that apple always has a lot of people ready to defend the big multi-billion dollar corp.
