However, in the HK-itunes case being discussed in the main thread, I'm more inclined to think that it's just a blatant grab for money.
Did anyone notice the "investors" link that was on the pat-rights site? Seems a little strange that they are so willing to collect investors' money and offer "staggaring" returns.
My guess is that someone in HK has been watching the legal circus surrounding software patents and finally found something that has half a chance of standing up in court and now can market it as an investment vehicle.

Does this mean I'm subconciously funny?
Ironic indeed that many patent-infringing companies in China are able to twist the laws to their advantage.
