They are starting: patent wars on Linux

First I saw a note on Google news. Then on Heise. And the reference was to Groklaw. So they seem to be starting, the patent wars on Linux.

Two companies, named IP Innovation LLC and Technology Licensing Corp. are sueing Red Hat and Novell for using their patent # 5,072,412, or in plain text: for using "a User Interface with Multiple Workspaces for Sharing Display System Objects".
IANAL, and I cannot repeat it all here - so if you care for U.S. patent law and for Linux, go over and read what PJ found out so far at Groklaw:
