Did they? It sounds like they had access to confidential Apple documents, which allowed them to rewrite their patent in a way to make it look like Apple infringed on technology they invented. Remember, the point of a patent is to disclose new inventions.

My argument's premise is that Apple is not a patent troll - the notion of poetic justice isn't quite applicable here.

Not saying anything about the lawyers.
