The info I read says September 25, 1991 and it looks like Macromedia inherited the patent from Aldus.

I don't think either company is going to pull product from the shelves.  It would hurt their user base too much.  I think in the end they'll trade a few bags of money back and forth while their lawyers dip into it as they 'assist' the transaction.  And in the end, we lose, because rather than paying for more R&D, the money we're paying them is going to their lawyers. :(
