Lucent versing the electronic giant

Lucent is sueing Microsoft for patent infringement of United States Patent: 5,227,878. They claim that the XBOX 360's out of the box mpeg-2 decoding infringes their patent.
(sorry for the minimal detail but I didn't have much time to type this before work)

The patent in question can be found here: Patent 5,227,878

=sigh= I switched what my sentence was gonna say....

1st though- "It seems their preperation will pay off this time"
