Yeah but most patent lawsuits are usually about 1 of 2 things.
1. Another source of revenue for the company when the other companies just pay a settlement to make it go away. 2. To force the other company out of business with all of the wasted time and money that eventually they go bankrupt.

If you read the first patent it basically says "get the details of a computer system into a text file and load the information into a database" If that's the case then Tivoli, et al, look out! What a waste of time, money and resource imho. -- Danny Kellett dkell...@javasystemsolutions.com<mailto:dkell...@javasystemsolutions.com> On Tue, Sep 23, 2014, at 04:49 PM, Rick Cook wrote: ** Maybe, but legally, there is a difference between "stealing" a concept (nothing new under the sun) and stealing (the details) how that concept is brought to market. It doesn't help that the SNOW C-team is full of people with a track record of unethical, if not illegal, behavior. That BMC isn't the only competitor suing them adds weight to the claim.

Indirectly - it is saying - nothing is invented - just new interpretations of existing stuff. Take for example: http://www.google.com/patents/US7617073 Adding colors to elements - based on health - and then make special marks based on a dependents components health.
