Here's a good post with a very interesting chart about who's suing who(m?) in the patent world. Don't fall over with shock and surprise: Apple is involved in 3 out of 5.
In one sense, all of the smartphone industry is a winner, because a lawsuit means lots of media attention, so the expenses can be considered an advertising budget.
The biggest winners? Patent lawyers with trial experience can command big salaries.
Losers? Companies with shallow pockets and/or fearful dispositions, making them easy targets for the school yard bullies.
