E-Pass Can Resue Patent Case Against Palm

kisrael writes "The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has ruled that a patent held by E-Pass may have been infringed by Palm and other PDA makers even though their devices are larger than 'credit-card sized.' The 1994 patent describes a 'multifunction, credit card-sized computer that allows users to securely store a multitude of account numbers, PIN codes, access information and other data from multiple credit cards, check cards, identification cards and similar personal documents.'"

Re:Prior Art?

Nothing can be done until US education will be improved. Those goverment workers are so stupid. All they do is checking the patent application papers are ok: signatures and so on. As for the text of the patent itself... well, I doubt they can even read, b/c a reading skill require a thinking skill and that is exactly what they lack of.
