Chinese Sue DVD Player Makers

PARIS ? Two Chinese DVD player manufacturers have sued consumer electronics giants Philips, Sony, Pioneer and LG Electronics, alleging they violated U.S. antitrust laws in the licensing of patented technologies.

Haha.. here's a link.

Why is it, that people will wait years and years to sue about something they invented a long time ago? If successful though, some of these companies are going to have to hand over a nice chunk of change..
