Morfik Patents AJAX Compiler

Posted by Hemos on Monday April 2, 2007 @02:20AM 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."

How can there be a 3 year backlog if all they do is stamp "approve" on the thing.

That's either got to be the cushiest job on the planet (BREAK TIME! Smoke'em if you've got em) .. or the most asinine (Translate the application into Urdu, reverse every other word, perform the ritual two hour tiki-dance, ...)
