Macromedia Sues Adobe, Claims Photoshop Infringes Patent

Posted by michael on from the patent-cannons-armed-and-ready dept.

jmorse writes: "According to this article at sfgate.com, Macromedia is suing Adobe for patent infringement, claiming that Adobe's Photoshop and GoLive products violate a patent they filed in 1998. The article is a little short on details, so I'm wondering if there are other sources with more on this patent." Adobe and Macromedia have been skirmishing and counter-skirmishing over patents for some time now. The AP article doesn't say which patent Adobe is supposed to be violating this time, so just pick any random thing that Photoshop does that Macromedia might have patented and express outrage about it. :)

    There is of course a fourth possibility, that this is really, really OLD NEWS!. Note the date on that article, August 10, 2000!!!!!

    Honestly, loading up slashdot is like looking through a time warp. News for afghan cow herds, stuff that happened yonks ago and no longer matters!
