I did the survey a month or so ago, after carefully reading the
patents I
was accused of violating three or four years ago. (The patent holder
died.
AFAIK, the estate has not filed any legal paperwork against me.)
If I am
sued by the estate of the patent holder, the biggest stumbling
block I'll have,
in demonstrating prior art are:
* The computer software from circa 1970,
that provides the same basic
functionality;
* The software I wrote in 1985,
that didn't work, and whose source code I
have
since lost, that would provide
the same functionality as described in the
patent;
* The software I wrote
circa 1997, whose source code I have since lost,
that provides the same
functionality as the patent covers. (A different
party filed a copyright
infringement notice, claiming that this software
violated their copyright on a
book that they had written. The only
information about the software that the
party had, was a description of
what it did. They never saw a demo, much less
a working program.);
* The spreadsheet I wrote (and have since lost) in
2003 that provides the
same functionality as the patent covers;
* The
spreadsheet I wrote in 2007, that provides the same functionality
as the patent
covers. This spreadsheet has been updated a number of
times since then. I may
not have a copy of the 2007 version. I do have a
working copy of the 2012
version.);
The secondary issue I'll have, is in "proving" that I
wrote the software
and spreadsheet when i said I did. Due to assorted hardware
failures over
time, my working notes prior to December 2011 are no longer
extant.
The patent in question was applied for in 2006, and granted in
2007. [ Reply to This | # ]

This survey will does not capture cases (like my own) where an individual (e.g.,
me) decided not to set up their business in the end because of the ongoing
threat of software patents.[ Reply to This | # ]
