Thanks, guys : ) Goodness me, for once I side with Microsoft. Change nothing to your websites, I don't think Eolas is going to win this thing.

Thanks M.B.! This is obviously an important issue for webmasters for the immediate future, but I suspect this may also establish new "case law" that will have implications for many years to come.

There's deeper issues here: 1) Patent Clerks who have the potential to foul up the world with their incompetence. 2) Judges who don't understand. We need a way to change people who stand in the way of progress so that they become competent. (I'd prefer to see encouragement to get them up to speed before thoughts of punishment.)

| "The '906 patent will cause cascades of incompatibility to ripple through the Web. Yet, it's not too late to remedy this problem. The material W3C presented in its Section 301 filing clearly establishes that the '906 patent is invalid," the W3C said. |
