> Some years back, one criticism I heard against Microsoft was that they threatened to assert patent infringement against Linux, but refused to tell the alleged offenders which particular patents Microsoft considered to be violated. And the end result was Microsoft (imho) legally extorting some Linux vendors for licensing fees.

How would this work in court?

"We're charging you with breaking some laws, but we're not going to tell you which ones. How do you plead?"
