The USPTO needs to be investigated for bias and/or collusion with certain companies to bring this "re-examination" at this particular time when Samsung has has basically made the same position their mantra fro the last however many months.
The "prior art" claims are a sham...anyone can draw whatever they want, but the patent really should only be valid if there's something functionally executing the processes described in the patent in the real world. Can you imagine what kind of world it would have been if all of Bell Telephone's patents had been invalidated years after the actual real products were on the market? I guess we may see what it might have looked like in the near future if this goes through.
