Patents: Computer Cops: Ideaflood owns patent on Subdomains!? |
|
 Computer Cops recently found information on a company called Ideaflood that owns a US Patent on Subdomains and has recently been sending letters to small businesses requesting royalties. Will this bring small web hosting companies to an end? It certainly can have an adverse affect on PHP-Nuke hosting shops.

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.e-devstudio.com | I don't normally post comments, but since I'm in a foul mood anyway (cursing just about everything today) I make a comment:
Personally this makes me laugh. I've been hearing of may stupid things later, this falls into the same catagory as that bloke who is trying to trademark the phrase: 'You're fired'.
Its a big joke, and one of the most stupid things I have heard in a long time.
Secondly: whos stupid idea was it to allow a patent on subdomains? Just about everysite on the internet uses sub-domains, they will be fighting a battle they can't win - so why do they bother?
(Actually I know: cause they are gready money-hungry - well I'm sure you know the rest!)
I'll think I go continue cursing something else now.
Thanks for reading my rant.
Brighten my day at bit. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | The "prior art" concept will prove this patent uninforcable. the web was in existance long before the 1999 application date (and the 2004 grant date), and subdomains were an integral part of it from day 1. this will go nowhere. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Reminds me of my news a few weeks ago, that the French patent office allowed some fool in Caan France to trademark the logo and name Counter-Strike..... Sierra Vivendi is suposed to be presing charges, but that can take years...
Who is going to press charges for a service/application that belongs to nobody to begin with....? |
