Patent Lawsuit Threatens to Clip Twitterâs Wings
,----[ Quote ]
| TechRadium, a little known Texas-based player in the emergency
| mass-notification field, didnât just wake up this month and decide to sue
| Twitter for patent infringement.
|
| The company says it didnât care about Twitter when the Twitterati was
| watching the tweets of NBA superstars, musicians, politicians and news
| outlets. But then TechRadium began seeing promotional materials and news
| accounts of companies, school districts and local governments using, or
| considering adopting, the microblogging service as their emergency
| notification system â muscling into TechRadiumâs wheelhouse.

Patent loss could rain on Windows 7 parade
,----[ Quote ]
| MICROSOFT MUST BE PANICKED that its recent loss in a US patent lawsuit could
| dampen the retail launch of its massively hyped Windows 7 operating system on
| 22 October.
|
| Last Friday it filed a sealed Emergency Motion asking for a stay of execution
| following its loss on 11 August in i4i v. Microsoft, a patent infringement
| lawsuit covering Custom XML.

And Of Course: Twitter Sued For Patent Infringement In Texas
,----[ Quote ]
| This should hardly be a surprise, but with Twitter being so popular lately,
| it was only a matter of time until it was targeted in patent infringement
| lawsuits. At the very least, the company suing them appears to (a) actually
| be based in Texas and (b) have a product on the market. But... that doesn't
| make TechRadium's lawsuit against Twitter any more reasonable or sensible.
