Microsoft Faces Lawsuit Over Caller ID for E-Mail







Microsoft Faces Lawsuit Over Caller ID

Microsoft Faces Lawsuit Over Caller ID
for E-Mail
08/12/2004 02:38 PM

A new patent battle is brewing -- this time over Microsoft's claim over Caller ID for E-Mail. F. Scott Deaver, owner of Failsafe Designs, says Microsoft is guilty of the "outright theft" of his product name and intellectual property (IP), and will seek legal and financial redress from the Redmond, Wash., software giant and anyone else that uses his technology that verifies e-mail is coming from the domain it claims.

If that happens, it's sure to put a monkey wrench in the deployment of the Sender ID specification, which is a combination of Microsoft's Caller ID for E-Mail specification and the Sender Policy Framework (SPF), worldwide to combat one of the avenues used by spammers. The technology used in Caller ID for E-Mail is part of a specification called Sender ID currently under review by an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) working group as a proposed Internet standard to eliminate the use of spoofed e-mail addresses found in many of today's spam messages.

Google Faces Another Lawsuit


Google Faces Another Lawsuit 08/18/2004 04:26 PM
Another lawsuit has been filed against Google due to the companies AdWords keyword advertising program. So next Tuesday Google will be heading over to a German courtroom where it will continue to defend its technology against Metaspinner Media GmbH.

Metaspinner claims that Google's AdWords keyword advertising program infringes on its "Preispiraten" trademark. According to PCWorld Metaspinner already "won a preliminary injunction against Google last November and is seeking a permanent injunction and damages." This isn't the first time Google has been taken to court for similar trademark infringements. Earlier this year American Blind & Wallpaper Factory accused Google that its search engine's keyword-based advertising violates its trademarks.

This probably isn't the last of these types of lawsuits, eEspecially since several companies use generic words in their names - e.g. General Motors. Because of this, Google could also be targeted for keyword-based advertising. For Google's ad program to be ever sucessful, they need to resolve these issues once and for all.

Silly Patent Of The Day: Adobe Hit With
Lawsuit Over Hyperlink Patent
07/08/2004 05:05 PM
I think it's about time we came up with a new topic/icon for stupid patents. There are just so many of them these days. The latest is that Adobe, who is no stranger to abusing intellectual property rules, is now being hit with a patent over their PDF technology. The patent is for a method of extracting network information via hyperlinks. Reading through the patent, they're basically describing a system for clicking on a hyperlinking and having the system not only download the page in question, but all locally related pages linked from that page as well. Perhaps a useful system, but it seems like this sort of technology was around well before the patent was granted, and it's unclear what it has to do with PDF files.

Google Loses Second French Trademark
Lawsuit
02/05/2005 09:48 PM
Coming just weeks after a French court seemed to misunderstand the purpose of trademarks a second French court has ruled that Google cannot sell ads based on trademarked keywords. This time, the case was brought by Louis Vuitton Malletier. Here, the argument appears to make a bit more sense on its face, as it wasn't competitors that LVM was worried about, but counterfeiters selling products to people who searched on the Louis Vuitton name. Except... that's wrong. Louis Vuitton Malletier should be going after the counterfeiters, not Google. The counterfeiters are the ones who are breaking trademark law by advertising products that aren't actually Louis Vuitton. So, why is Google involved at all? They're just offering the platform by which these ads are placed and shouldn't be responsible at all for the content of those ads. Furthermore, as long as the ads aren't confusing buyers about the nature of the products, then there's no reason for it to be trademark infringement. It's just in cases where there is confusion -- and then it's the company doing the confusing that should be taken to court.

Intermec Sees Symbol's Revenge Patent
Lawsuit, And Piles On Another For Spite


Intermec Sees Symbol's Revenge Patent
Lawsuit, And Piles On Another For Spite
03/25/2005 06:57 AM
And people thought the idea the idea that companies were getting patents for the sake of nuclear stockpiling was silly? Well, it appears that nuclear war is now breaking out between Symbol and Intermec. Last year, Intermec started the fun by suing a bunch of companies, including Symbol, for supposedly violating some RFID patents. Two weeks ago, Symbol thought it was only fair to sue Intermec over its own WiFi patents. Because no fired shot can go unanswered, the good lawyers at Intermec have now come up with more RFID patents they can sue Symbol over. Or maybe they're the same ones and they're suing again. Honestly, it doesn't matter. All that's really happening here is that the two sides are wasting a ridiculous amount of money on lawyers and lawsuits -- when that money should be going towards new product development and getting products to market. At some point, the two sides will settle and there will be some press release about cross licensing patents and no one will be happy, except for some of the lawyers involved. All of this "innovating" (that's what patents are for, right?) is going to kill us all -- or, at least make a lot of this technology much more expensive.
