Grant Gross at TechWorld writes,

"Cloud hosting provider Rackspace is striking back against patent holder Rotatable Technologies, a Texas company that has filed patent infringement cases against more than a dozen companies in the past year.

Rackspace on Friday filed a challenge to a 2001 Rotatable patent for selectively rotating windows on a computer display, using a relatively new patent challenge method created in the America Invents Act, patent reform legislation the US Congress passed in 2011.

Earlier this month Rackspace teamed up with Brocade to challenge two other companies it accused of being 'patent trolls'."
