WMF and IA are suing a patent troll which claims to hold a patent relevant for MediaWiki search autocomplete: https://www.infodocket.com/2020/03/13/report-wikimedia-internet-archive-want...
The case is doing the rounds and I've not seen it on CourtListener (don't all WMF lawyers use RECAP? :-) ), so I've uploaded the WMF complaint to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2020-03-11_Wikimedia_Foundation_v._WordLogic.pdf

Thanks a lot for sharing this. The complaint was a rather interesting one.
