Does anyone know what these patents claim to cover? "wifi" seems a bit broad

    Clearly invalid. Prior use dates back to X BC when gestures by cavemen were used. [Edit] Or are they going to be chasing anyone that uses light in some fashion?

  Here's one of their suits: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fia700405.us.archive.org%2F3%2Fitems%2Fgov.uscourts.ilnd.253349%2Fgov.uscourts.ilnd.253349.1.0.pdf https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fia700405.us.... I don't know enough about the details of wifi to say whether the patents in question actually apply, but it seems plausible. Here are all the patents listed in the suit: http://www.google.com/patents?id=zi8SAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=zi8SAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=0W-qAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=0W-qAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=89fGAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=89fGAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=rlHHAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=rlHHAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=HQwgAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=HQwgAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=i9UYAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=i9UYAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=Uz8JAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=Uz8JAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=f6mwAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=f6mwAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=YxQcAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=YxQcAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=unMYAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=unMYAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=yPcOAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=yPcOAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=zDQSAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=zDQSAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=Bkh4AAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=Bkh4AAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=vfnOAAAAEBAJ http://www.google.com/patents?id=vfnOAAAAEBAJ
