Cisco Sued over OFDM Wireless Standards

Posted by simoniker on from the floating-through-the-ether dept.

Agent Green writes "It's definitely not the first time someone has been sued over a standard, but Wi-LAN is in the process of taking Cisco to court over the OFDM encoding which it claims to have patents for - the standards in question apply to 802.11a/g. Interestingly, this case is being brought in Canada, where the defense needs to prove its case. Might be time to join and expand the patent busting brigade?"

    I don't think I've ever seen you lacking for words.

    I have run smack up against Date's Incoherence Principle hard enough that I'm afraid it's going to leave a mark.
