I don't like those patents either but until the US Supreme Court decides to nuke software patents from orbit, they can be and in fact are enforced by the courts. A lawsuit isn't "meritless" if it succeeds.

Well, legally meritless (I believe the actual terminology used is usually "without merit"). It can still be rationally meritless (which seems to be the intention here).

That's not much comfort when one is successfully sued.
