Encyclopaedia Britannica Fails In Attempt To Revive Infamous Multimedia Patent
,----[ Quote ]
| Last year, we pointed out how rather ironic it seemed that a company like
| Encyclopaedia Britannica, who is supposed to be in the business of spreading
| knowledge, would sue GPS makers for patent infringement. However, at the
| time, we were unaware of the history of the patents in question. Joe Mullin,
| over at The Prior Art, has the full story, including the fact that the case
| relied on a rather infamous patent, that gave many folks a preview of future
| patent battles to come.
