I hate patent trolls.
But anyway, when I think of companies that exist only to sue other companies and extort money from them… I can’t help but think of one very famous company that got their axxes handed to them….
SCO….
Got I loved watching that company go down in flames…

Novell, you might not be that successful these days, but definitely hats off to you!!
Viva Linux….
But obviously, after going bankrupt, and being acquired again, they’re tried again…(under a different owner)
And in 2011…..DENIED….

Burn baby, burn…

No way this is an “investment opportunity”. This is a speculative and gambling opportunity. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s definitely not an “investment opportunity”.

ParticipantSCO delenda est!
Great how a bunch of geeks took on a pack of sleazy lawyers, scam journalists, and corrupt theocrats … and won.
Sad though to think of Ray Noorda’s slow decline into senility, which enabled the lawsuits by putting power into the hands of his Svengali-like successors.

The way I look at it was more like you had a rogue terrorist tiny tech company that decided to try to bomb a few large tech companies that had a large legal team and scientist and authors that eventually beat the crap out of the punk, and in the process bankrupted the company…
justice served..
Lesson learned…You need good lawyers.
