I worked with a dude who patented (methods patent) a process that entails sending digitally compressed / encoded audio and video signals via microwave (satellite). He and his patent attorney friends sued Hughes and were awarded in excess of 20M plus royalties for the duration of the patent.

The fundamental problem here is that I suspect he patented an idea he gained while doing research work at Motorola.
