Internet Software Patents

I was asked "Why didn't you patent this yourself, if you developed it first?" My reply was "It only took me an hour to build; if I went down to the patent office after every hour of programming, I wouldn't get very much done."

Techdirt: Smartphones Patented... Just About Everyone Sued 1 Minute After Patent Issued
by karlcow
Et après les gens du monde libre se demandent pourquoi les compagnies sont frileuses d'implémenter Ogg Theora. Tant qu'une technologie n'est pas implémentée par une société commerciale à larges revenus, il n'y a aucun moyen de savoir s'il existe un brevet même avec toutes les précautions possibles.Reading the patent, you realize it describes the quite common smartphone. It's a patent for a mobile phone with removable storage, an internet connection, a camera and the ability to download audio or video files. The patent holding firm who has the rights to this patent wasted no time at all. At 12:01am Tuesday morning, it filed three separate lawsuits against just about everyone you can think of, including Apple, Nokia, RIM, Sprint, AT&T, HP, Motorola, Helio, HTC, Sony Ericsson, UTStarcomm, Samsung and a bunch of others.

According to the Theora FAQ, "some portions of the VP3 codec are covered by patents," which could be what Nokia is referring to when they talk about "avoiding any patent issues." Unfortunately, virtually every other video codec is also protected by patents.

flow|state: Directional keyboard navigation could improve PC-based browsing too
by night.kame
Jan Miksovsky aimerait voir apparaître une meilleure façon de sélectionner les liens au clavier. Et pour lui, cette manière de procéder nous vient de WebTV, et a été intégrée de façon innovamment innovante dans .net 3.0. Alors, les navigateurs en retard par rapport à la prochaine version (haha) d'Internet Explorer ? Sauf que, w3m le fait déjà (entre autres)... Microsoft aura-t-il fait correctement ça recherche d'antériorité cette fois-ci ?Microsoft has already filed for a patent on the very elegant heuristics in the WPF DirectionalNavigation feature, so it would make a natural addition to a future version of Internet Explorer. I'd love to see a similar approach adopted by Firefox, or at least developed as a Firefox add-on.
