They seem very keen to maintain the patentability of certain unpatentable
subject matter like codecs and protocols.
When it comes to software, programming and open and free coding, they look in
the opposite direction.
I tried to remember where I read a particularly heinous amicus brief on patents
from IBM, but with no luck, so far.

Since terms of these settlements are usually secret, it could be that there was
little or no cost to IBM. By settling with IBM for no money, Acacia may have
thought they were in a better position to negotiate with the others.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
