This is seriously good news for everyone. What this means to me as a start-up guy is that I can tomorrow start a phone company based on an Open Source OS like Android and still not worry about getting sued for trivial BS patents like these. I hope more of such patents are invalidated.

The patent is still being "prosecuted" by the USPTO. The actions aren't final on this patent yet.

Thanks, the title is kind of misleading then.
