How is that an exhibit, though? This is a patent that's obviously (at least
to us, software engineers) way too far reaching, but it has 1) neither been
tested in court and 2) nor been used to collect settlements (as far as we
know).

Something a bit more convincing would be: when was the last time you heard
about someone receiving crazy amounts of money for a patent that obviously
should never have been accepted by the USPTO, much less confirmed as valid
by a judge?
