Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
Every week, I look at a software patent that’s been in the news. You can see previous installments in the series here. This week’s patent comes courtesy of Techdirt, who reports that Apple has settled a lawsuit with the owner of this patent. Here’s the abstract:
Tim Lee / Timothy B. Lee (Contributor, 2004-2009) is an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. He is currently a PhD student and a member of the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University. He contributes regularly to a variety of online publications, including Ars Technica, Techdirt, Cato @ Liberty, and The Angry Blog. He has been a Mac bigot since 1984, a Unix, vi, and Perl bigot since 1998, and a sworn enemy of HTML-formatted email for as long as certain companies have thought that was a good idea. You can reach him by email at leex1008@umn.edu.
