    If they go through with this suit, I'm going to sue them for infringing on my patent for "Method for suing patent holders over infringing on your patent by registering their patent".

    Of course, then I'll probably get sued by someone with a patent for "Suing people for patent infringement on your patent on suing patent holders for infringing on your patent by registering their patent."

    Ha-ha!

    of course, if it were anyone else, this would suck. However, I consider this to be "just desserts"

    So you're suggesting one can resubmit a patent that has expired? Funny I never heard of THAT before. ;-)
