I don’t know whether to laugh or cry over this one..
A company sues Cisco [1] for infringing a patent. Just one problem, they filed the suit the day before the patent was granted [2]!
It then appears they realise their faux pas and so persuade someone at the court to alter the docket to the day after [3], so it will match the patent issuance date!
With much thanks to the excellent Patent Troll Tracker blog [4] for the news and to Dennis Crouch’s Patently-O blog [5] for the complaint.
