If you were a patent holder contemplating suing a bunch of
companies for patent infringement, what’s the first thing you would

infringement complaint aimed at Linux).

And if that weren’t bad enough, your attorneys then demonstrate

was signed into law on September 16, 2011, or that pleading patent
infringement requires something more than saying I own a patent and
you infringe it. These guys can’t get anything right.
