Good to finally see this story told in all of its gory detail. As a witness to this story, I was frustrated to see how Arlo and AJ never had a chance to win on the merits of their case, let alone on the merits of their technology. I can only hope that this story inspires others and drives needed software patent reform. And that Arlo and AJ both go on to do great things -- as I am sure they are doing already.


hmm... May be like Patent Trolls there is an 'Anti Patent Trol' business opportunity here. Somebody w/ deep pockets hires a bunch of lawyers. And any time a company gets sued these guys based on the merits of the case may choose to fight for you. In exchange for equity. It could work I think. Averaged over enough law suits.
