That Microsoft XML Patent
That Microsoft XML Patent
06/05/2005 11:19 PMThe 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.]...
