	Streaming company takes aim at colleges - Tech News & Reviews - MSNBC.com
		Washington College in Chestertown, Md., was told that by Acacia that a minimum annual license fee of $5,000 was likely to cover the company claims it's owed. But Acacia said the deal is only on the table until Sept. 15. Afterward, the price might go up and Acacia might sue for past infringement.
		Acacia's digital media patents, granted to the founders of Greenwich Information Technologies in the 1990s, weren't enforced until Acacia bought them in 2001.

		In a preliminary ruling in Acacia's dispute with adult entertainment sites last month, a federal judge ruled that several terms in Acacia's patents were indefinite, a verdict that could weaken potential Acacia cases against other streaming video users.
