Mercifull Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Its a stupid patent. Just like BT threatening to sue everyone for hyperlinks a few years back.

____ Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 lmao, that'll never hold. Microsoft has zero support for their patent claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmw Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Same as above. It's just in the news because it makes a funny read...some Apple iPod revenue going into Microsoft's pockets. Lmao. But yeah..I doubt it'll actually happen. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmser Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hah, they should've known better.. How can you NOT get a patent on it? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I fail to see the logic in letting a company patent a product they do not own. The legislation is what is at fault, not Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaN Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Its not that its stupid it that Microsoft acually attempt to do it. Its a stupid patent. Just like BT threatening to sue everyone for hyperlinks a few years back. lol I never heard about that! ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 :P http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1072484.stm Court Papers detailing BT losing the case :P Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

jammy316 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Its a stupid patent. Just like BT threatening to sue everyone for hyperlinks a few years back. As you sterotyped there not stupid :) There needed. But, I fail to see the logic in letting a company patent a product they do not own. The legislation is what is at fault, not Apple. ^ Whats the point when Apple already has released products for another compandy to patent on it? It shouldn't of been able to happen and is a shambles to the system. If that actaully holds then someone needs a slap.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I didnt say all patents were stupid Jammy...
