I agree that it is good to show your son what you do for a living, but in this case, it was done at the taxpayer's expense. Maybe there is a precedence to be set against filing frivolous patent claims? Maybe a suit should be filed? Maybe this is a defense against the business process cases that seem to have no merit?

I hate it but the above sounds reasonable to me too... When they ask me what I do for a living, I usually have to say something like "You know... Computer stuff".
