BT Loses Case Over Hyperlink Patent

Posted by michael on from the world's-smallest-violin dept.

Tarkie sent in this Bloomberg blurb noting that British Telecom has lost their patent suit against Prodigy over an old patent that BT hoped would cover the use of hyperlinks on the modern WWW. See our original story or check out the court's decision.

    I'm pretty sure that this is a troll/flamebait, but I'll bite...

    The two matters are completely separate. Just because we are interested in this doesn't mean we don't give a crap about poverty and terrorism and everything else, but it is unrelated. Life goes on. If you stay regretting something which has passed and don't move on then what's the point in living?

    ...and you people have the gall to be discussing British Telecom has losing their patent suit against Prodigy???? My *god*, people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!
    Usually the priority in a thread about BT losing a patent suit will be, call me crazy, BT losing a patent suit, since anything else deserves a OT:-1. Or in your case, Troll:-1.

    MHO. YMMV. Any resemblance between this post and real persons, or reality in general, was accidental.
