Wi-Fi patent case results in $229M payment to Australian government

This particular patent is less egregious than many but even so I find the situation ridiculous. As long as US companies are benefitting from patents, the government will do nothing. We need more patent litigation from foreign entities.

Just as a side note, the CSIRO is a "real" organization. It conducts an awful lot of research with some notable inventions [1]. That money will fund a lot more research. This isn't some NPE troll who will simply line its pockets.
