HTML as a MIME document type was officially codified in RFC1866 in
November 1995 and was first described as a candidate for official registration
back in 1992.
Found the 1992 evidence of
proposing HTML as a MIME type here.
So back in 1993 people were
discussing/already knowing about placing IMG tags in HTML, using HTML as a MIME
type and using MIME in email. This prior art taken together shows the patent
should be obvious considering the knowledge available at the time.

If Gene Quinn said the sky was blue I'd feel obligated to check.
His bias is palpable.
The 1952 version of the patent act said:
"A patent may not be obtained . . . if the differences between the subject
matter sought to be patented and the prior art are such that the subject matter
as a whole would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a
person having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains.
Patentability shall not be negatived by the manner in which the invention was
made."

Since by that description, most of the patents he thinks are so wonderful would
never pass muster. His "new machine" created by doing something
ordinary and commonplace "on a computer" immediately comes to mind. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Stop paying him lip service.
If everyone just ignores him, he will go away or become irrelevant.
The only reason he's still spouting his nonsense is because people keep
responding to it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
