No, this is yet another example of how the patent (and copyright) system are broken. This has nothing to do with the legal system, but with systems that stifle creativity and innovation. Both copyright and patents have been abused for many years now, and it's actually become a business for many companies and lawyers who do nothing but sue over patents they own, not creating any products, but simply suing others who do the work and do become successful. That's not what the copyright and patent systems were suppose to be about, yet, it's what they have become.
