Morfik Patents AJAX Compiler

Posted by Hemos on from the i-am-patenting-newspaper-delivery-as-well dept.

MikeyTheK writes "It appears that under the radar, the USPTO granted Morfik a patent for the "System and method for synthesizing object-oriented high-level code into browser-side javascript". Reading further, it appears that they have patented the compiling of high-level languages into AJAX apps. The high-level languages include "Ada, C, C++, C#, COBOL, ColdFusion, Common Lisp, Delphi, Fortran, Java, Object Pascal, SmallTalk, Visual Basic, and Visual Basic.NET". It would appear that the application date is September, 2005."

    Hmmm...

    I'd always heard it called the department of redundancy department when I heard about it. I guess there can't be enough of those departments, I guess.

    • The department of redundancy department
    • The redundant department of redundancy
    • The department of redunant redundancy
    • The redundancy department of redundancy
