Yeah our patent system is really messed up here. Some people come up with really broad patents then sit around waiting for some company to start making something that fits that patent then sues the **** out of them for patent infringement. I think they are trying to get control of the situation, but suing someone is so easy I wouldn't doubt someone could sue a company for getting a patent and manufacturing something they dreamed of a few years ago.
