i doubt this lawsuit, and the one from yesterday, will go through. most of these are just a company trying to make a quick fortune.
take this one for instance, worlds.com or whatever makes a virtual world for ill kids to go lose themselves in. they patent that. but that patent only holds meaning in other things like second-life, and dare i say home, or something that is similar to it. games such as world of warcraft and final fantasy(xi) can not be touched by this patent because this is a world created by the designers and writers. and besides wouldn't be considered a monopoly to have the patent to the entire virtual world?
