I know little or nothing about patent law, but it seems like they don't have a leg to stand on legally. With the patent not being awarded until after CoH
came out, and so many other MMOs that are, at least, superficially similar to the idea described in its patent that came out before the application was even
submitted to the Patent Office, I can't see the courts finding in Worlds.com's favor at all.
