Might not be "troll" - here's their "JumpCode" system: http://www.jumpcodesystem.com/ http://www.jumpcodesystem.com/

  Precisely right. They are not a 'troll', because they actually sell what they have patented. But it seems that what they have patented is little more than a software idea; scarcely more clever (though infinitely more monetizable) than, say, some CSS hacks I've seen. I'm not sure how this particular patent promotes the Progress of Science and the useful Arts; it seems merely to retard them.

    it's amazing how much people pay for key/value stores.

      yeah, jeez, i'd sell for 1/2 that!

  Wow, the pricing is unbelievable. $250-500/month per "Jump Code". I'd love to know if they have a single paying customer at that rate.

    There is always the chance that they aren't trying to attract customers but give themselves the best opportunity to win patent cases by actively pursuing their patent?

    Maybe that is why they are suing now. Couldn't sell anything so they have to justify the business to their investors.
