Rich Media Threatened By Patent
This patent all ruch media internet apps using technology such as Flash, Flex, Java, Ajax, and XAML when the rich media application is accessed over the internet. Only the applications, not the tools, are covered. The patent contains 83 claims.According to Bola Rotibi, senior analyst at Ovum, IT advisory firm, says: "It's kind of unbelievable that the patent has such a wide-ranging use because it covers so many technologies, anybody who does anything with ruch applications will have to pay royalties to the company." The patent owner may consider selling to companies such as Adobe, Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo, all of which have made large investments in rich media technology.
Patent lawyer was Don Pelto.
Some have remarked about this patent: "If only Al Gore had applied for a patent after inventing the Internet".
