I especially like the second patent they filed:

...which holds image-and-sound-generating information arranged to simulate the aspect and speech of an application loan officer on the video screen...
Who the heck would ever do something like this?

Anyway, I agree that you shouldn't worry too much. Judges are starting to get a little smarter about the rediculousness(sp) of patenting software concepts. Hopefully, whatever judge tries this case will be one of the "enlightened."

For more proof of how unsubstantiated this lawsuit is, go here
