I really doubt if they'll really succeed in court - I've been using it WAY before they had a claim to it  Still, it's utterly stupid AND ridculous and even if they decided to start sueing people, I'm sure their company would plummet - period. q

well, they really got a patent on it. They are using this as an example of how idiotic the Patent Office is. They say they won't enforce their right to it. It's all a joke except for the fact that they own it. :rolleyes:

I read an article that says they intended the press release as a joke. They never thought they really would get the patent.

It's a joke... read the fine print:
