Similar to the article linked in the post, SCOTUS has started clamping down on these sorts of patents.[0] I suspect this one will also be killed eventually. It's really a shame that the patent office is still giving out these sorts of patents, however, and wasting everyone's time and effort.

SCOTUS = Supreme Court of the United States, in case anyone else was wondering.

But how many millions of dollars will potentially be wasted until it gets killed?
