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.

Alexander Graham Bell was first to file. Close but no cigar - and almost forgotten to history - filed just a few hours later.
