I love how passive aggressive this is – it shifts from "it's a shame Apple is leaving" to "we could sue them over it" pretty quickly towards the end. They imply it's difficult to do, but also that it's basically already complete... bizarre post to make public.

This tone is what you get when your CEO hasn't slept in 3 days because of anxiety.

The undertone certainly seems like they'll be paying a lot of attention to Apple's compliance of their patent portfolio. Given how much of their revenue comes from Apple I wonder if they'll have to become an enforcer of their current IP rather than generator of new IP.

And what's with the "This announcement contains inside information"? at the end? Once they release a public statement, isn't everything in that statement then <not inside information>?

So that everyone who is handling this news before it is released (i.e. the publisher) knows that it contains sensitive information and may not be acted upon.
