Go, look at those Lodsys patents from a few days back...descriptions uselessly vague (n/t)

Authored by: mrisch on Monday, June 11 2012 @ 01:44 PM EDT

I think the Lodsys patents are too broad and most of them
are invalid as well.

That said, if you look at the time of the patent filing, the
specific functionality described was not widely available -
not for many years, in fact. This is an example of hardware
dependence that many folks here are pushing back on - they
implemented this stuff in fax machines, etc. Given the
hardware available at the time, that's a pretty neat
solution. If you replace "fax machine" with "networked
computer" it's not so inventive anymore. The problem is that
Lodsys is claiming a solution for fax machines to apply to
all networked devices, and that's a real problem.
