Well, the two companies don't like each other since the days when Sierra was publishing Valve's games (Sierra and Blizzard are owned by Vivendi).
Personally, I'm with Blizzard on this one.
PoSSeSSeDCoW: Of course, if they keep it but don't enforce it, I don't really care that they have it. Sort of like Amazon's patent on one-click checkouts, which was picked up to prevent patent trolls from suing them.
Aye... Patenting software... the modern way to stop innovation.
