Blackboard is a company that sells very expensive, hard to use software for online course management. They sued their competitors for patent violation. Blackboard lost - the court says their patent is invalid.
I think my glee at their loss is mostly because their product has many flaws. I'm sure I'd struggle to make something that worked half as well, but I'm not a giant corporation suing people for doing something obvious.

Blackboard is crap. I've had to use it at two schools for continuing ed and it's ridiculous!
