I remember reading a news story about a company that applied for a patent on patent trolling. I shit you not.

The patent application described figuring out a technology that another company decided not to patent, patenting it yourself, then suing the original company.

Anyone remember what company applied for that patent?

Either way, some of these patents are beyond silly, the fact that they've waited FIVE YEARS shows how valid the patent actually is.
