Now maybe they can go away and realize that you can’t sue your way to a monopoly,

And maybe Android companies can team up and start litigating this patent troll too.

I thought you were a conservative. Isn't FreeRepublic a Conservative site? Doesn't FR uphold the Constitution of the United States of America? Yes, it does. Why not trying reading it, VanDeKoik. Specifically, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8:

"Congress shall have power . . . To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.

". . . Exclusive right" IS a monopoly! VanDeKoik, and Patent law requires the patent holder to defend his patent or lose it. I guess you DON'T follow the constitution, and prefer to support a foreign company. Gotcha.

So a company designs a system and patents it. Then someone steals that patent and gets away with it. Sounds like Mexico or China...not America.
