Seems like postal mail is prior art for any push technology. Letters are clearly
pushed from sender to receiver. It would be kind of absurd for me to
periodically poll all my regular mailers and ask if they have anything for me.
And how would I ever get mail from unknown senders?

Apple did this to themselves.
Hopefully this will ultimately lead to the implosion of the world patents
offices.
I suspect there's too many lawyers in the world to let that happen.

Encryption has been around for at least as long as Rome 2000 years
ago.
Different encryption/decryption methods are older/newer. But
encryption/decryption is all math based. Even the enigma machine - which was
purely implemented mechanically - can be duplicated mathematically.

October 11, 1853. G.F. Milliken files for the patent of an automatic burglar
alarm system where the remotely-located signal device (bell) indicates not only
that an event has occurred but the precise location of said event. TTBOMK,
current central station monitored alarms still use this concept with some
variation in the information coding method. --DonW

AFAIK Apple have a licence from MS for push email from MSExchange.
But of course MS will do it their own way, not in accordance with
international standards or industry good practice. That means anyone
wanting push email from a non-Exchange system has to pay tax
to whatever lucky devil got a gold card from USPTO.
Yes RIM do it their own way too, but they also have a license from MS
for Exchange systems.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You've got
1) Patents covering existing Genes
2) Patents covering existing Plants/Animals
3) Patents covering minor modifications to genes (think Monsanto)
4) Patents covering minor modifications to Plants/Animals (glow in the dark
bunny rabbits)
5) Patents involving location of a mechanical switch (KSR v. Teleflex)
6) Patents involving patient treatment (Mayo v. Prometheus)
Software is only a minor part of the problem.
