FTC Investigates Submarine Patents
Schnake writes: "An article on USAToday talks about how the FTC is investigating Sun Microsystems, Unocal, and Rambus to determine whether they illegally kept patents secret while helping set industry standards! And a quote from the ZDNet article: "It noted that all three companies had filed patent infringement lawsuits against firms they say owed them royalties. But the litigation backfired when those firms countersued, charging them with concealing their patents, and complained to the FTC.""
Even google's cache is a hack page! And the page doesn't appear to be a spoof - it's registered to "Afghan Taleban Mission to the U.N.". It looks like ry_den@land.ru has been doing this for some time.
