BT Pushing Hyperlink Patent

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up dept.

There's been a lot of new publicity lately about the British Telecom trying to defend a patent that they claim means they invented hyperlinking. Currently they are going after Prodigy for using hyperlinking back in the early eighties. We've mentioned this one before, but it really looks like they are going to push it. Insane.
