I don't think that the state is the issue.
I think that they are selecting firms that can't afford to get a lawyer and
appear in court. Out of the 48 firms that I saw today that are being sued,
they are all small potatoes - like us. There is no Amazon, BestBuy,
Barnes&Noble, or similar multi-million dollar companies.
Youmaybenext.com alleges that they are looking up D&B ratings on each
company that they sue.
IMHO, I think that it comes down to a class-action suit and convincing a
judge that the whole concept is ludicrous and that s/he will order the
patent thrown out.
That takes a LOT of support, and a LOT of money!
