More Patent Battles Coming In The
Anti-Spam World 09/14/2004 12:29 PM
An anti-spam company has purchased an early anti-spam patent, which they now hope to use to collect a bit of cash from plenty of other anti-spam firms. The concept seems ridiculously obvious: monitor email, note emails that appear to be the same, create a signature for that email and use it to pick out other messages that match that signature. Why this should be patentable in the first place is unclear. In the meantime, it's just going to make it more difficult and more expensive to use this obvious technique to stop spam.

Patent Office Agrees To Check Into All
That Prior Art On The Eolas Patent

Patent Office Agrees To Check Into All
That Prior Art On The Eolas Patent 11/12/2003 01:35 PM
The latest in the Eolas patent saga is that someone at the Patent Office has finally agreed to review the patent based on stacks and stacks of prior art that people have been finding. Amazingly, the Patent Office appears to have responded quickly (though, they don't say how long it will take for a new decision on the patent) to the requests for a re-examination of the patent. There's a quote from the USPTO's deputy commissioner for patent examination policy saying that this was an "extraordinary situation" which necessitated the quick response. The problem with this statement is that it's not an extraordinary situation. In fact, it's an increasingly common situation, where silly patents are getting the stamp of approval every day - and then used to hold other companies up for extortion, rather than for encouraging innovation.

Silly Patent Of The Day: Adobe Hit With
Lawsuit Over Hyperlink Patent

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.

Symbol Table Manipulation 03/19/2005 02:39 AM
One of the most dramatic advantages of dynamic languages is that they provide access to the symbol table at run-time, allowing new functions and variables to spring into existence as you need them. Though they're not always the right solution to common problems, they're very powerful and useful in certain circumstances. Phil Crow demonstrates how and when and why to manipulate Perl's symbol table.
