Scan-to-email patent trolls sue Coca-Cola and other largecompanies

MPHJ is America's most notorious patent troll. The company -- whose owners are shrouded in mystery through a network of shell companies -- claims a patent on scanning documents and then emailing them, and they threaten business-owners with massive lawsuits unless they pay $1,000 per-employee "license fees." Mostly, the troll has gone after small-fry, companies too small to defend themselves, and has stopped short of actually going to court.
