USPTO Rules Fogent JPEG Patent Invalid

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the burn dept.

fistfullast33l writes "Groklaw has reported that the USPTO has ruled the broadest claims of the JPEG Patent held by Fogent to be invalid. PUBPAT, the organization that requested the review, released the news earlier today. According to PJ, the ruling will be hard to overturn as the 'submitters knew about the prior art but failed to tell the USPTO about it.'"

    since when did slashdot get a language filter? "damn" wait, no they didn't. what the hell? don't censor yourself, it's wrong and annoying. this is the internet, you can cuss here. and if you don't want to because you find it too vulgar, then just don't.
