KDE violates IBM patent

Clearly there is. But is this fact sufficient to protect someone 
(re)deploying the mechanism? Or must the patent be revoked in some way 
prior to that? I mean, suppose I deploy the mechanism and IBM puts me in 
court. Can the court dismiss the case given proofs that the patent lacks 
innovation? (And is the patent revoked then?) Or are they bound to the 
patent title? Thanks. Not at all pressing.
