I think being the group who is asking all submarines to surface is very different than being the submarine captain. I agree patents suck but it's an unavoidable reality of the current US patent system. If the patent exists, it exists. Sticking your head in the sand wont help you and leaving it as an unknown only helps Google. I think you can make the case that this is the role that Google should have been playing.
