Encyclopedia Britannica loses patent ruling
,----[ Quote ]
| A notorious patent case about a technology that allows people to search
| multimedia content may finally be coming to a close.
|
| Earlier this week, a judge ruled that two patents initially awarded to
| Encyclopedia Britannica are invalid. The patents were built on the infamous
| 5,241,671 patent first unveiled by Compton's NewMedia in 1993 at the Comdex
| trade show.

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.
