How Many Patents Do You Violate?

Writing Software? Setting Up A Website?
How Many Patents Do You Violate? 01/22/2004 03:07 AM
The stories of stupid patents seem to be showing up every day, and this article points out that if you're writing your own software or setting up a website, it's likely that you violate a ton of patents already. The article has the story of someone who wanted to set up an online video store, only to realize that just about every part of the store violated some patent. The cost of "licensing" all of those patents made the business impossible. Note that all he was trying to do was build the fairly obvious idea of an online video store. He wasn't "taking" any intellectual property - but because of the way the patent system is designed, his site never got anywhere. We're certainly beating a dead horse, but it's apparently not dead enough - because there's no real talk of changing the patent system. If the entire point of the patent system is supposed to be about promoting innovation - and it's clearly not doing that, why isn't anyone talking about changing the patent system?

DevShed: Getting Started with PHP
Fusebox 06/05/2002 07:50 AM
The Fusebox web methodology may change the way you approach architecting data-driven web applications. The latest version of Fusebox is the most scalable and effective incarnation of a "web box" - style architecting approach. Created by Steve Nelson, Fusebox has been further popularized by the arrival of a PHP port by David Huyck of http://bombusbee.com. Armed with Fusebox and a few simple tools, PHP developers can now architect scalable web applications across project teams, technical disciplines, and display mediums. -- Mike Britton

"tri" Don't believe the statement you will find in the article that says 70% of all software projects fail, otherwise most IT companies would be out of business. In most such studies - failure is defined to include cost and time overruns. This is inevitable when the customer changes the scope of the project.

"tri" After some investigation, I found this Newbie Guide to Fusebox for PHP (PDF), which is much clearer than the above Devshed article.
