Patent troll claims ownership of interactive Web--and might win
The federal courthouse downtown is packed to the brim with dozens of lawyers, representing the world's biggest Internet companies, including Yahoo, Amazon, Google and YouTube, Apple, Playboy, Perot Systems, Blockbuster, Citigroup, eBay, and Frito-Lay--all for using the "interactive web." A succession of pioneers of the early Web--including the Web's father, Tim Berners-Lee himself--has flown in from around the world to denounce two software patents they believe threaten the future of Web innovation. East Texas has transformed itself into something of a haven for patent suits over the past several years, but by any standard, the trial now underway is an extraordinary circus of dark suits. |
