It is getting a bit silly now. Anyone remember Douglas Adams' 'shoe event horizon'? I think we're approaching something similar, just with lawyers instead of shoe shops.

Agreed. Though the patent sounds remarkably vague. That could cover every device since the invention of the microchip.

Is the tech industry trying to re-create that South Park episode where there is a court case of Everyone vs Everyone?

Funny thing is that Samsung look like losing out seriously as Apple are switching production away from Samsung, to other producers. So even if Samsung win the patent case they may lose far more from the loss of production. I wonder if Via have much to lose on this score?
