Edge-cachers tie up courts with pointless patent suits

Akamai's dumbass patent-infringement lawsuit against its competitor Digital Island has wound up with an injunction against Digital Island for using a technology that it has long-since abandoned. Nevertheless, Akamai is seeking 9-figure damages from Digital Island — meanwhile, Digital Island is countersuing Akamai for infringing on its patents. Ah, the sweet smell of the useful arts and sciences being promoted by our friends at the USPTO.
