End of the Eolas Suit?
Could this be the end of the Eolas suit brought against Microsoft for their so called patent infringements?
Acting on the advice of the W3C HTML Patent Advisory Group, W3C has presented the United States Patent and Trademark Office with prior art establishing that US Patent No. 5,838,906 (the ‘906 patent) is invalid. W3C Director Tim Berners-Lee has written an unprecedented request to US Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property James E. Rogan to take action to remove the patent to allow operation of the Web.
Read the entire prior art filing or just the briefing at the W3C site.
