the ppl suing this are vicious. they're going after a weaker company to enforce the patent. ncsoft being vulnerable because they are in the red the past financial quarter. the thing about patents is it is considerably harder to overturn a ruling then it is to make a ruling. so when they go to court against ncsoft they have to get the court to rule in favor with them. they chose east texas as the space to sue this korean company because east texas is infamous for making antiforeign decisions. once they have the ruling, when they go up against blizzard and other larger companies, and because of precedence, the court is no longer deciding if the patent holds, but rather if the texas court decision holds. It is so much harder to overturn a court decision especially a recent one, than to prove theri patent is bullshit. worlds.com has done everything to give themselves an advantage in their legal battle against ncsoft. they sent their notification that they were suing ncsoft, the day before christmas. There is some legal mumbo jumbo, saying that not responding to the notification within 6 days is suspicious and implies that ncsoft is guilty, this case being patent violation. So to outline Worlds.com:

1. Choose a Korean based MMO company, that is losing money.
2. Sue them, by bring them in front of an East Texas court, infamous for making decisions against foreign companies.
3. Send the notification of legal action the day before Christmas. Immediately, get an advantage in the trial when NCsoft responded the day everyone came back to work at their company, specifically new years day.
4. After they win, go after larger companies accusing them of the same patent violation, only this time with a court decision behind them, making their case several times harder to defeat.
