Story: UK firm claims patents on Internet downloading
This is funny as H*** as most of the protocals and original updating like those described we were doing back in the early 80's here in the states for people like McAffee at one of the software comapnies I used to work for.
True some of it is newer technologynow, but even though Microsoft does and has been known to rip off other peoples technologies, the UK people did not invent most of the technology to do this. They may hold some patents but they probably still have a long fight ahead of them trying to purse it unless they have documentation that superceeds others.
Did they do resaerch against the US patent office or other government pattent offices before they issued their patents?
