Encinitas inventor William Louis has been fighting Microsoft Corp. since 1998 over patents for ergonomic keyboards – with very little success. Yesterday, he finally had something to smile about. A federal appeals court resurrected Louis' long-running federal lawsuit accusing the software company of patent infringement. In the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the court said a U.S. District Court judge in San Diego made a mistake when she ruled that patents held by TypeRight Keyboard Corp. for V-shaped keyboards with wrist rests were invalid. Louis co-founded TypeRight in the early '90s.

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 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.
