Back in 2015, Personal Audio's claimed patent was invalidated by a federal court.
Podcasters, you can now engage in your lengthy Maron opens without the feeling of being legally targeted by a Texas company that many would consider to be a patent troll.

As Ars reported in August 2017, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the April 2015 inter partes review (IPR) ruling—a process that allows anyone to challenge a patent's validity at the US Patent and Trademark Office.

I was having a bad day, but hearing that a patent troll is having a worse one makes it just a little bit better :)
The patent office is like the death penalty. Good in theory, but corrupt as fuck in practice.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
