Summary: As Google claims to be spreading over 1 million Linux-based phones per week, Apple which is a self-admitted 'thief' is suing again and Frontier Communications does too -- using a patent whose description Frontier distorts
Oh, and if you want to see how continuation patents are abused, you can check out the original patent application, which focuses on something quite different than the eventual patent. It's much more about switching calls from one line to another. It's only in the later patent (not filed until well after Google Voice was widely established in the market), that Frontier made the patent sound a lot more like what Google Voice actually does.
That's not a concrete patent. It's software-implemented and it's inspired by real-world equivalents.
Even the most ardent defenders of the current patent regime expect the Court to strike down "business method" patents. The big question will be if the Court goes even farther and delivers a broader decision affecting software patents and other controversial forms of patent monopolies.
Oil money has become exceptionally notorious for takeover of online platforms and institutions/NGOs (using them to incite society inwards, not upwards)
