The US patent office does not care/have the resources/have a clue how to enforce that patents are non-novel and/or obvious. It is an entirely corrupt system driven by a mass of lawyers, all encouraging their clients to build patent portfolios for "defence". If you want to combat a patent, the best stage to do this is during the application stage, it's far harder to combat it after it's approved. For those that aren't aware of the StackExchange patents site [0], this is the best site I'm currently aware of for collecting evidence against patent applications. I would encourage you to actively seek out this patent application, start a thread on it and submit evidence against it. The US needs a cultural change on patents, to make it clear that the patent system is corrupt and companies that file software related/non-original patents as an excuse to not having to innovate any further/at all need to be shunned.
