Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat and Novell - Just Like Ballmer Predicted (Groklaw)Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat and Novell - Just Like Ballmer Predicted (Groklaw)Posted Oct 12, 2007 17:49 UTC (Fri) by deck (guest, #19755)In reply to: Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat and Novell - Just Like Ballmer Predicted (Groklaw) by branden Parent article: Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat and Novell - Just Like Ballmer Predicted (Groklaw)
The date looks as though it is May of 1986. This therefore would not constitute prior art as the two persons that gave the paper are two of the "inventors" on this patent which was file in March of 1987.
And I will say RATS!

Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat and Novell - Just Like Ballmer Predicted (Groklaw) Posted Oct 13, 2007 15:46 UTC (Sat) by ordonnateur (guest, #6652) [Link] So this patent was filed in 1987 for something revealed i n a paper published 1986? Now I know we are talking US patents here which, as it is considered possible to patent software, are self evidently stupid; but, my understanding is that patents everywhere are for a limited time and this one appears about due to expire, and (ok US is probably different) but in UK law if you breathe a word of your 'invention' to anyone but a patent agent, let alone publish in a journal, your claim to a patent is invalid.
Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat and Novell - Just Like Ballmer Predicted (Groklaw) Posted Oct 13, 2007 22:26 UTC (Sat) by pjhacnau (subscriber, #4223) [Link] IIRC in the US you have 12 months of grace period after publication to file for a patent. That was (one reason) why you had the RSA patent in the US and nowhere else in the world.
