For Google, the shift in the way the justice system looks at and handles patent infringement claims meant its subsidiary, Motorola Mobility, unsuccessfully bid to convince U.S. courts that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) was illegally using Google's/Motorola's approach for sending data to a mobile device. For Akamai Technologies, it means that the technology company will need to re-explain - and ultimately re-prove - to an appellate court that Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:LLNW) infringed on an Akamai patent even though a lower court had already ruled in favor of AKAM. And for Soverain Software, the legal system's new attitude meant it wouldn't even bother hearing its appeal for a case it lost against Newegg last year... a case it's tried against several companies, losing every time.

Another intriguing aspect of ICE is its pending merger with NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX ) . The merger with NYSE Euronext will broaden ICE's revenue breakdown dramatically from its current setup to the point that only 10% of its revenue will come from cash-based equities trading. Listing fees, market data, technology and futures/options trading will make up more than equities-trading, giving ICE the ability to resist economic downturns like never before.�
