CSIRO Wireless Patent Reaffirmed In US Court
An anonymous reader writes ""The CSIRO has won a landmark US legal battle against Buffalo Technology, under which it could receive royalties from every producer of wireless local area network (WLAN) products worldwide." From the article: "The patent, granted to CSIRO in 1996, encompasses elements of the 802.11a/g wireless technology that is now an industry standard. It stems from a system developed by CSIRO in the early '90s, 'to exchange large amounts of information wirelessly at high speed, within environments such as offices and homes,' said a CSIRO spokeswoman."
Well, as long as I can continue to surf the internet while on the john, I really don't care who owns the wireless patent.

'""The CSIRO has won...'
Incorrectly starting quotes with two (2) quotation marks has been patented by me! I'd like my $0.15 in royalties please.
Goodness. A dingo ate my wifi!
Yes, I learned everything I know about Australia from Slashdot, Fosters commercials,
and Crocodile Dundee movies.
Basically all countries of the world will be assisting Australians pay their taxation bill and that works for me.
Capitalism at its best. Thank you all very much...
A Happy Aussie
No argument from me. It's not like I actually read the article.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
It's Australian for "OWNED"
You have tried to support your argument with faulty reasoning! Go directly to jail; do not pass Go, do not collect $200!
