Agree with Happy, this kind of crap is completely ridiculous. I can't believe the statute of limitations allows for this kind of thing. For years now, it's been known that Blu-ray is Sony's baby. You can't just suddenly swoop in when the kid is already out of kindergarten and demand custody. If a company as big as Sony has publically announced they'll be selling millions of players using your intellectual property, and collecting licensing fees from other companies to use your IP, you need to be on the phone with them immediately to negotiate a deal with them and faxing them a copy of your patent, not serving them with papers years later.
