EveryMD sues Facebook business account end users for patent infringement

Dunno how many people know about this but I find this particularly interesting, from Update 2:

"Here's the docket sheet showing the case in the US District Court for the Central District of California, currently administratively closed, only to be opened if the patents get reinstated on appeal, which the judge said is unlikely. So, now they turn around and sue three presidential candidates and every business account holder on Facebook, with patents they've been told are not valid. Please notice how many times Facebook tried to get this case dismissed, and consider the cost of all this. I wish the USPTO and the Federal Circuit and the US Supreme Court would."

It's like SCO vs IBM all over again.
