Because......
>>>sheesh.... if this was really the case, they should ahve said something BEFORE the technology was bieng used by all these other companies.<<<

Simple. You can sue for a lot more money once everyone is using it.

If they had sued someone as soon as their specious patent was "infringed", that would have been a heads up to the industry, who would have then devised other methods of accomplishing the same goal. And that would have made the patented "technology" in question completely worthless, period.

Moral of the story? If your business is in the crapper and you have no morals or ethics, FIND SOMEONE TO SUE!!!
