A patent lawsuit against GNOME
This patent went active today. The patent seems very basic. This looks like a patent troll, doesn't it? The described idea wasn't really novel when they applied for the patent

The patent didn't go active today (Google Patents just shows it is currently active today) and has already been used in other lawsuits that were dismissed by a court

For clarity, though, this case was dismissed without prejudice on the basis of an improper venue.
The patent still looks bogus, but don't draw any premature conclusions from the above-cited case.
