Settling is Not Winning! (Updated)
,----[ Quote
| This is all wrong.
|
| This is all in the line of the most idiotic pattern of the U.S. judicial
| system.
|
| Someone sues you. Instead of fighting (if you believe you're right) and go to
| the stage where a judge reaches a verdict, what is the common practice in
| business?
|
| Financial settlements.

| This is not Microsoft Corp. (with big $$$$$) suing Béranger (who virtually
| has no real money). This is Firestar Software Inc. and DataTern Inc. (two
| pieces of shit) suing Red Hat Inc. (a company who aims for a $1bn profit).

Patents for All: The System That Could Not Contain Itself
,----[ Quote ]
| The myth of an all-seeing, all-knowing Congress capable of riding to the
| rescue is a well-used excuse for keeping bad decisions on the books. But the
| question of just what is patentable is far too loaded and complex for
| Congress to handle -- especially given all the other problems the patent
| system faces and the fact that even modest patent reform legislation has
| stalled.

Patent breach by 'virtually all websites'? Pay up, firm demands
,----[ Quote ]
| A SINGAPORE firm has threatened to sue websites that use pictures or graphics
| to link to another page, claiming it owns the patent for a technology used by
| millions around the world.
|
| In a move that has come under fire from the online community, VueStar
| Technologies has sent 'invoices' to local website operators asking for
| thousands of dollars in licensing fees.
|
| The company, which said 'virtually all websites' are infringing on its
| patent, is also planning to take on giants like Mircosoft and Google.
