Web Boosts the Cause of Free Color

| But what's to be done about it? In an effort

IBM Patents Changing Color of E-Mail Text
,----[ Quote ]
| "Last week, the USPTO granted IBM a patent for its System and method for
| comprehensive automatic color customization in an email message based on
| cultural perspective. So what exactly did the four Big Blue inventors come up
| with? IBM explains: 'For example, an email created in the U.S. in red font to
| indicate urgency or emphasis might be mapped to a more appropriate color
| (e.g., blue or black) for sending to Korea.' IBM took advantage of the
| USPTO's Accelerated Examination Program to fast-track the patent's approval.
| BTW, if you missed the 2006 press release, IBM boasted it was 'holding itself
| to a higher standard than any law requires because it's urgent that patent
| quality is improved.'"
