Acacia UK

It seems as though we have a UK case with parallels to the Acacia legal shenanigans going on here on our own doorstep. A UK judge has ruled that digital photo companies, Corbis and Getty Images did not infringe a patent for selling digital media online.

Acacia are the company that started out successfully suing porn companies for infringing their streaming technologies patents. They then moved on to target the education sector a little over a month ago decided to go after big guns Intel and Texas Instruments, for infringing a computer architecture patent they've been awarded.
