Microsoft FAT Patent Rejected

Posted by michael on from the 8.3-for-you-and-me dept.

dkh2 writes "It's being reported other places as well but, there's a very nice story over at Groklaw about efforts by the Public Patent Foundation (PubPat) to get Microsoft's patent on FAT restricted or revoked. Bearing in mind that Microsoft still has right of appeal, The USPTO has rejected Microsofts FAT patent." Our earlier story reported on efforts to overturn this patent.

    When I had a sig critical of John Kerry, suddenly I was repeatedly modded down as "Overrated" and "Troll."

    Excellent. A right wing Microsoft apologist repeatedly gets modded down as overrated and troll, and doesn't get any mod points himself. Ever.

    The Slashdot mod system is working just right. :-)
