Then i think we need like 100 more such cases for the law enforcers to realise there is a problem. I encourage anyone feeling their patent has been infringed to SUE! On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 12:57 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:
In the Kodak example, Blackberry is been sued for technology that allows one to preview photos on their phones. And given that Microsoft patented Sudo, anyone coming up with an OS that presents user with an interface to log in as root before certain actions are performed may find themselves in court.
In the case of Apple, serving adverts with software in an operating system may infringe on their patents.
Before you launch any software or device, you now have to hunt for patents that you broke in coming up with your original idea.
I think patents should protect algorithms while software should be protected by copyright. As for devices, the interface rather than use of a certian technology should be the one to be protected.
