Internet Patents: The Sequel

Have you seen this Press Release yet?

"The United States Patent and Trademark Office earlier this week granted design company Balthasar the rights to a patent that covers the creation of rich media applications on the Internet. "

"The patent covers all rich media technology implementations including Flash, Flex, Java, Ajax and XAML and all device footprints which access Rich-Media Internet Applications including desktops, mobile devices, set-top boxes and video game consoles."

The good news:

"Rather than follow the lead of a company like Eolas, which has pursued Microsoft through the courts in a patent claim covering browser plug-ins, Balthaser said he is looking to sell the '180 patent to a large company with an established interest in rich media Internet applications. "
