They meant to write minecraft, they don't know how to spell the name of the game, that's why it's so funny, lol.

These guys have also filed lawsuits against Microsoft, Sony, McAfee, Activision, Quark, Borland Software, and Aspyr... they know what they're doing.

Any information available on whether they won or lost in those cases?

That's what the company does, it buys patents and just sues people who use them for money.
