So, there's this thing, where someone will undertake some kind of criminal behaviour, and succeed. And succeed again. And again.
Where there's this psychological effect in which, even if it's subconscious, the person starts to become convinced that they're not lucky, they're just that good.
I think something like that happened to Tim Langdell. That, and/or he assumed that once granted a patent was beyond question...
Otherwise, it's hard to explain making fraudulent trademark infringement claims against EA Games. A massive corporation with lots and lots of money and lots and lots of lawyers... over something that was an established franchise for them.
If you hit "I'll see you in court!" against a company the size of EA, it's really not a good idea to do so over an issue where they can trivially, yet thoroughly, prove that everything you've asserted to the US Patent Office and the court is a lie.
