Patent Office to Reissue Narrowed Version of NeoMedia Patent
,----[ Quote ]
| In April 2007, as part of our Patent Busting Project, we asked the U.S.
| Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to revisit its decision to grant NeoMedia a
| patent that broadly claimed to cover database lookups using things like
| barcodes. In October 2007, the PTO agreed to take another look, and last
| July, it issued an initial opinion that all 95 claims of the NeoMedia patent
| were invalid.

| Does our current system of patents, especially software patents, "promote the
| progress of science and the useful arts?" The answer is obvious. It does not.
| Is it obvious enough for the Supreme Court to go against the wishes of
| the "intellectual property nomenklatura" of this country, with their
| fictitious billions of dollars on their balance sheets? Maybe. We'll see.
| Another interesting question is this. On the day after all those patents are
| invalidated, what will the stock market do? It will be interesting to see....
