"Here's hoping Apple has something interesting under wraps to put Primesense to work on and isn't just filling up their patent war-chest."
In almost all of the lawsuits I've seen, the patents used by Apple were filed by Apple (and most had Steve Jobs name on them).
Outside of the Nortel stuff, it doesn't seem like Apple is big about acquiring businesses for their patents. Are there notable examples of Apple weaponizing patents that way? I thought that was more the hallmark of Apple's competitors, rushing to put together a defense...
