"Peer-to-Peer Systems LLC announced today that it has served a Complaint on Palm, Inc., the Milpitas, California-based maker of personal digital assistants ("PDAs"). The Complaint alleges that the use of Palm PDAs and clone PDAs to play multiple player games wirelessly and interactively on two or more such devices directly infringes Peer-to-Peer's U.S. Patent No. 5,618,045 ("the '045 patent") relating to methods and apparatus for playing interactive, multiple player computer games on ad hoc, wireless local area networks."
Good grief. :roll:
