Acacia Research wins preliminary injunction
http://news.com.com/2100-1026_3-1026466.html?tag=fd_top
The company has won a preliminary injunction against five adult entertainment Web sites, barring them from using on-demand digital video or audio online, or providing advertising links to any other such sites. The ruling was a default decision, after the five companies declined to respond to a lawsuit, but does mark the first court validation of sweeping patent claims that could ultimately encompass virtually every site offering online multimedia content |

It was a DEFAULT DECISION. The defendants never answered the suit. It is my opinion that this does NOTHING to either validate, or invalidate the patents.

A default decision is still a decision... i.e. a little bigger legal platform for which Acacia argues from.

A decision is a decision.
Why did nobody respond to the suits? Out of 5 companies, nobody responded?
