Candidates Sued By Patent Troll For Using Facebook

WrongSizeGlass writes "Ars is reporting that the 'inventor' of the concept of 'providing individual online presences for each of a plurality of members of a group of members,' claims that four million Facebook business account holders, including at least three major presidential candidates, are guilty of infringing his patent. He's suing Facebook for infringing on his patent as well as the three candidates. A Patent Office examiner rejected the patent claims, but the rejections have been appealed."

For once I am not bubbling up with fury that he was overlooked. I do, however, take issue with the phrase "the three candidates" (emphasis mine) in the write-up - perhaps simply "three candidates"? Or "the three candidates of ill repute"?
