[Cryptography] Large companies sued for using Elliptic Curve TLS?

[Perry E. Metzger]

Anyone know anything about this? The claim is huge numbers of
companies (that is, end users like Macy's and GoPro) are being sued by
a patent troll for using elliptic curve cryptography on their web
sites.

If this is true, it could be a very serious situation.
