Sue happy lawyers strike again! Farmville giant Zynga is being sued by Agincourt gaming over patents related to prize redemption patents. In it they are asking, essentially, for damages and for the courts to shut Zynga down. Now, I’m not a fan of Zynga for a variety of reasons, but honestly, guys: it seems like less and less people are being innovative and instead of making money through their hard work (something it seems a lot of people are wanting to do less of nowadays), they are instead making their money through lawsuits.

What do you think of this situation? Does Agincourt really have a leg to stand on? And what do you think about the recent rash of software patents as a whole?
