Another copyright wackiness

From Aaron Swartz (which sounds like a Medieval Monk, but anyway) this link about a company, SBC, claims they own Patent on Internal links and Includes

SBC Communications claims they own Patent on Internal links and Includes, threatens to sue the little guys first, then move to the big guys.

What's this? Some CEO over there had an attack of corporate greed, or did they lost their senses altogether?
The copyright protects, as Prof. Lessig points out, is about specific expression of ideas and facts, and never on those ideas or facts.
