Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat, Novell

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 12th Oct 2007 14:16 UTC, submitted by walterbyrd

Groklaw reports that a company called IP Innovation, LLC, has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Novell and Red Hat. Groklaw goes into black helicopter mode, trying to find a tie between this IP Innovation thing and Microsoft - and it finds it too. A few ex-Microsoft employees now work at IP Innovation. Do with it as you please.

Not a patent lawyer, but what if they're suing because during the time that the patent *wasn't* expired, it was being infringed by those companies? If yes, let's just fire everyone, declare bankruptcy at redhat, and start a new compared called Maroon hat. Maroon hat wasn't infringing on any patents in 2004! Problem solved.

This isn't a game. You don't just throw away like that a company you've built over years and years.
