The US Patent and Trademark Office has now stepped in and invalidated the Eolas patent. The decision, if it is upheld, will clear Microsoft of charges of wrong-doing.

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.

Patent Office Chief Resigns - Praised

theodp writes "USPTO Director James Rogan is leaving the Bush administration in January to complete work on his autobiography, "Rough Edges," which will be published next summer, but can be preordered at Amazon.com today (be sure to turn on that patented 1-Click!). According to today's USPTO press release, Rogan changed the culture of the agency by making quality, not the time it takes to get a patent, the hallmark of its work - judge for yourself!" Amazingly, the article about him leaving talks about how much he's done to reform the patent system. Yet, every day we still seem to see ridiculous patents. If that's what we call reform these days, I think we need something different.

Suddenly The Patent Office Realizes That
Online Auctions Are Obvious

Suddenly The Patent Office Realizes That
Online Auctions Are Obvious 03/29/2005 08:46 PM
Just two weeks after a court ruling suggested that eBay was violating business model patents for online auctions and buying direct, the Patent Office has come out with an initial ruling invalidating one of the patents noting that it's an obvious idea. Of course, the patent review process is a long one, and the company, MercExchange, who owns the patent still gets a chance to respond. They also point to the recent court ruling, which seems like circular logic. The court said the patent should be considered, and the USPTO is saying the patent isn't valid. That should be the end of the equation, but MercExchange seems to think that the court trumps the Patent Office. Either way, there's a lot of money being spent on this mess -- and, if anything, this process reveals how ridiculous the system is. If the patent is invalid, why did it need to go through so many lawsuits and patent reviews to figure that out?
