I am not familar with the HH story (nor have my Guinness Book of World Records handy), but it could have that twist that after 20 years of battling, he wins the patent case, then the next day, the 20 year patent time limit expired.
SightSound, who has a patent for the selling of digital audio and video clips on a website has been going on for years.
