Musicmatch Successfully Challenges
Gracenote Patent 09/20/2004 02:54 AM
Someone who prefers to remain anonymous writes "A story at CNET states: "A recent court ruling, which dismissed some patent infringement charges by digital music company Gracenote against Musicmatch, may also have helped clear the financial picture for the acquisition (of Musicmatch by Yahoo)." This is bad news for Gracenote since the company relies almost totally on the threat of legal action to generate sales of its core business, music recognition. Companies such as Musicmatch and Microsoft operate their own music recognition services, and many smaller players would like to do the same, but they have been held in check by the aggressive threat of a patent lawsuit by Gracenote. This loss in court, as well as the two recent squashing of investors in two recent fund raising events by Gracenote, is making the company unattractive to new investors at a critical, capital intensive time in the company's brief history."

In the battle to dominate the emerging business of online music sales, the 800-pound gorilla finally is taking the field. Today, Microsoft rolls out its MSN Music store, directly challenging its nemesis, Apple Computer, which so far has ruled that business. I’ve been testing Microsoft’s new store in advance of today’s launch and comparing it with Apple’s much-praised iTunes music store. While the Microsoft entry has a few nice touches, it is typical of many…

“The Kangaroo Challenge is on”, Hughes says. WOWdesk, a product of the well-established Australian, Adapt IT firm has audaciously challenged not only Microsoft, but Yahoo and Google, and for that matter, every internet power that exists for ‘Internet Desktop Supremacy’. An ‘Internet Desktop’ is a new term for a place on the web where you can manage all your personal and even business data. Even though WOWdesk is relatively new, Adapt IT is not. They have been in the Internet business since 1995 and have some impressive credentials, like web-enabling the Australian Navy. [PRWEB Mar 31, 2005]

That Microsoft XML Patent

That Microsoft XML Patent 06/05/2005 11:19 PM

The coverage from ZDNet says the patent is for the conversion of objects into XML files; but if you read the patent itself, the important “Claim 1” doesn’t even mention XML, it’s just about serializing objects based on using an annotated source file and a schema. I was trying to find a way to write about this without becoming shrill and using bad language, but failing. Fortunately, I ran across a good opinion, shrill but not obscene, penned by Greg Aharonian who’s a real actual patent lawyer and thus qualified. Herewith a little bit of my own shrillness, followed by Greg’s professional evisceration of this extreme case of patent bogosity. [Update: slight correction regarding Don Box.]...
