I thought years ago IBM published a list of their patents every month or so just so everyone in the computer industry knew what was going on.

I think patent laws are pretty rediculous. Many years ago a company I worked for got sued for patent infringement and the company holding the patent copied something that had been around for at least 6 years prior to their patent being issued. It cost us a tidy amount of money to prove this and had the patent office looked into the literature that we supplied, the patent office could have denied the patent easily.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20435117 Mon, 05 May 2008 15:24:03 EDT
