The federal jury in Tyler, Texas,...

Mirror Worlds LLC, the legal entity that filed the complaint, is incorporated in Tyler, Texas,...

That does not sound right to me.

Have no idea about the merits of this case, but incorporating and filing the lawsuit in the Eastern District of TX was no coincidence.

I tend to be anti-Apple (more for fun than any other reason - love getting Apple fans worked up). However, this is just crazy. Along with Microsoft suing Google for Android, these lawsuits are getting out of control. We need a “loser pays” system to stop some of these lawsuits - not that it would have helped here apparently.

More IP nonsense. Just because one person has a thought, does not mean that someone else wouldn't eventually think of the same thing anyway.

We need to return to TJ's "19 year and then public domain" standard. You can claim forever to have invented a new kind of widget, but you only get exclusivity for a limited time.

And don't even get me started on idiots buying things up and sitting on them never intending to do anything at all with them...

Lawsuit abuse is a travesty.

I am not big on proprietary systems like Apple but law suits like this are akin to legal extortion.

If this doesn’t show why tort reform is needed nothing will.
