04/28/2004 10:29 AMCNET: Google fires back at Digital Envoy. Digital Envoy makes
geo-location software. Google used it to deliver the right version of
the Google homepage (google.com, google.co.uk, google.ru, etc.) to
users in different countries. Now, apparently, they're using it for
location-targeted ads. Google previously paid Digital Envoy $8000/mo.
for the service. Now Digital Envoy wants more, including a possible

Another Day, Another Pointless Patent
Battle
Another Day, Another Pointless Patent
Battle
04/08/2005 03:15 PMAnother day gone by and another story about
some company claiming a random patent concerning a business they're
not even in. In this case, it's a patent from the same company
that has managed to squeeze a ton of money out of companies by
claiming to own a patent on the compression of images used in .jpg
images. Now they claim they hold a patent on the concept behind DVRs,
thanks to a vague patent that talks about recording TV signals on
computers. Once again, you have to ask two important questions: how
is that non-obvious enough to deserve a patent? It was a clear
evolution of the technology. Second, why do we allow the patent
system to work this way when it's clearly not rewarding innovation at
all, but actively punishing those companies that innovate? Meanwhile,
with TiVo building up their own
patent portfolio, it looks
like we'll have yet another
paten
t cold war involving all of this nuclear stockpiling. At what
point do people realize that the system is broken? It's not
encouraging innovation. It's just making some patent lawyers
wealthier while taking money
out of research and development of
new, innovative products.

Atlantic. A French Appeal Court ruled that a countryman who downloaded
500 movies via P2P was within his rights because he used them for
private viewing, not distributing or selling them to the public. He
also paid tax on the blank media he recorded it on. No harm, no foul
said the courts. Now that is a ruling that makes sense, common sense.

More on Nomadix
More on Nomadix
01/28/2004 03:36 PMThis poorly-written piece offers up some more comments from Nomadix on
its redirect patent: While Joel Short, Nomadix's chief technology
officer, says here that the company isn't focused on suing companies
for patent infringement, he also repeatedly says that Nomadix will
"encourage" companies to license its technology rather than infringe.
I continue to make calls to operators and vendors that could be
affected by this patent and generally find companies reluctant to talk
about the issue. Many of them say that they believe many companies had
redirection before Nomadix filed for the patent and as such the patent
shouldn't be enforceable; this is called "prior art." But I suspect
that few want to actually be the company that challenges the patent.
They're likely waiting to see if Nomadix goes after them. My
impression, based on the fact that I continue to feel like I'm
informing companies of the patent, is that Nomadix hasn't yet
approached vendors or operators that it feels are infringing on the
patent. There are some companies supportive of Nomadix, however. STSN
licenses the Nomadix redirection technology and believes others should
too. "The Wi-Fi industry will come to a grinding halt if we don't
support the private ownership of IP [intellectual property]," said
David Garrison, STSN's CEO said in an exclusive interview today. "So,
on one hand, we can say we want this industry to develop and have new
technologies, but companies like ours aren't going to invest in the
new technology and research if we can’t get protection around IP."...

Industry Expert Analyzes Nomadix Patent
Industry Expert Analyzes Nomadix Patent
01/27/2004 12:36 PMJim Thompson of NetGate wrote a short analysis of the Nomadix gateway
redirection patent, which he gave us permission to reproduce: Jim is
the former CTO of Wayport, and an engineer with many years standing in
the Wi-Fi industry. He writes about Rob Flickenger's response to the
Nomadix patent on the NoCat mailing list. NoCat is an open-source
authentication gateway project. Here's Jim's email to myself and a
Freenetworks.org list. Some of the terminology may be obscure to those
of you not in the industry, but I hope we can start a dialog to
explain these parts. (Disclaimer: Jim is representing his own opinion
on his own time and his opinion doesn't represent the view of this
site or any of his employers past and present.) Jim writes: [Rob
writes] specifically: I think the critical phrase from the press
release is: "This redirection takes place regardless of the host
computer's settings and without altering the user's browser settings."
Unfortunately, that has little or nothing to do with the patent. When
one reads patents, one has to read the claims. The other text is
basically fluff. [Patent number] 6,636,894 has 11 claims. Of these, 2
are so-called "independent claims", and the other 9 depend on one of
these two independent claims (or on another dependent claim.) The two
independent claims are #1 and #6. 1. A method for redirecting an
original destination address access request to a redirected
destination address, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, at
a gateway device, all original destination address access requests
originating from a computer; determining, at the gateway device, which
of the original destination address requests require
redirection;storing the original destination address if redirection is
required; modifying, at the gateway device, the original destination
address access request and communicating the modified request to a
redirection server if redirection is required;responding, at the
redirection server, to the modified request with a browser redirect
message that reassigns the modified request to an
administrator-specified, redirected destination address;intercepting,
at the gateway device, the browser redirect message and modifying it
with the stored original destination address; andsending the modified
browser redirect message to the computer, which automatically
redirects the computer to the redirected destination address. and 6. A
system for redirecting an original destination address access request
to a redirected destination address, the system comprising:a computer
that initiates original destination address requests;a gateway device

Can You Patent Online Fundraising?
03/24/2005 08:31 PMPlenty of people have started to realize that, instead of encouraging
innovation, many are using the patent system as a sort of legalized
shakedown. Software patents are bad, but business model patents are
downright scary. The folks over at the EFF point to one pending
patent that
tries to
patent the process of fund raising online: "A method for
conducting a fundraising campaign by an organization or person over a
wide-area network, comprising the steps of: hosting a website
including a plurality of linked web pages, the website providing
information about the fundraising campaign and soliciting potential
donors to make a charitable contribution to the fundraising campaign;
registering on the website; contacting third parties via email
messages soliciting charitable donations; and providing one or more
reports, on the website, including information on the status of the
fundraising campaign." Where's that guy with the patent on stupid
patents?
