No, not a new Monster marketing campaign. This time the SCOTUS voted 9-0 on an issue (patent trolling; ruling against the troll). I'll see if I can find the case.
Still though, a 9-0 decision.enf-Jesus its been like 12 minutes and you're already worried about stats?! :-P
Bigdog-Sweet home Alabama you are an idiot.

Supreme Court deals blow to computer patents in 9-0 ruling — Tech News and Analysis
The case itself involved a patent for escrow services held by Alice Corp, a shell company regarded by many as a patent troll. The patent’s validity was challenged by CLS Bank, which runs a currency transaction network, and which argued that Alice’s patent simply described a settlement mechanism that banks have used for centuries.
“We conclude that the method claims, which merely require generic computer implementation, fail to transform that abstract idea into a patent-eligible invention,” wrote Justice Clarence Thomas.
