except for a beeper, your message was intended for a phone. I'm pretty sure the email on a phone part of the patent isn't what's novel about it. The novel part is that the email, which is a message not intended to go to a phone, gets pushed automatically to it.
Universities are against the current proposed changes. So are small inventor lobbyists. Ironically, even though the bill supports big business, the Republicans are against it for the most part.
Not really. A beeper sends messages entered from a phone numpad to the beeper. The NTP patent (I think, I haven't read it) covers email sent from a computer to an email address that is then forwarded to a phone. That's different from sending to a phone number.
You are correct. It is fully autonomous, from take off to landing. Pilots can give it waypoints but don't actually fly it to those points. It does it all on its own.
"Is the developer of a GPL-covered program bound by the GPL? Could the developer's actions ever be a violation of the GPL?
Strictly speaking, the GPL is a license from the developer for others to use, distribute and change the program. The developer itself is not bound by it, so no matter what the developer does, this is not a "violation" of the GPL.
However, if the developer does something that would violate the GPL if done by someone else, the developer will surely lose moral standing in the community."
There is already a mechanism in place to deal with dishonest patent applications. Any attorney or patent agent who does not fully disclose prior art that he or she has discovered can and most likely will be disbarred. The problem isn't people lying about prior art. The problem is that prior art just isn't accessible, even though it does exist.
Nope. Maybe Florida is different though. That's where I'm from and where I was when I bought my old car (from my dad). You just write the price ($0) on the...I believe it's the transfer of title but I can't remember.
Exactly, this guy may not even have a copyright in his own work because it may be considered a derivative work of Star Wars. All he has to do though is get permission from Lucas. Good luck with that though. So...if he doesn't own the copyright then he can't really tell Viacom what to do.
Well considering that he actually sold it for the price of the iPhone then he'll only have pay taxes on the ~500 or whatever those things cost. That's why when you buy a car from a relative you make say they sold it you for nothing.
Like I said, their reputation has already been ruined. What website uses real media these days anyways? I've gotten by this long without it. There are too many random media players out there. I don't need another. If Real wants to get anywhere, they should just change their name.
...it will be the worst hijacking player of all time. I've never used Real Player because of the sole reason that it would never let me disassociate it with file types. Don't play nice, fine...you don't get installed...ever...again. Some reputations just can't be fixed, and Real ruined theirs long long ago.
The term "bittorrent" has pretty much become a generic term by now so if someone wanted to fight it they'd probably have a good chance in court. Too bad it'll be very costly.
This is a Federal claim and not all federal civil cases have 12 jurors.
"rule 48 governs the number of jurors in a civil case. A civil jury must consist of between six and twelve jurors (six jurors are presently used in the vast majority of federal civil trials; juries of twelve are still required in federal criminal cases)."

Oh and the main reason for Lake Jackson's draining is sink holes in the lake open up into the underground aquifer and the water drains out to the Gulf. I don't think man has anything to do with it.
"What is needed is anti-patent troll legislation: If you don't make it, you don't get to own a patent on it."
Then how are one man inventors going to be able to get a patent on their invention that takes serious capital to create? Your solution would make patents available to corporations only.

It is standard at the appellate level for the finding of facts at the trial level to be nearly impossible to overcome.

Yea but no one goes into a lawyer's office asking "hey can you help steal a bunch of shit?" ...oh wait

So you think the best reform is to completely shut the little guy out of the patent system? Sounds awesome!
"I thought patents applied to corporations, NOT individuals."
You thought wrong

My father is a tax attorney. I'm sure we did it correctly.

you've never bought a used car before?
No, he bought the car for the price of the iPhone. You pay taxes on the price you pay. ~7-8% of iPhone price.

Rutan has been doing work for Northrop for many years. I believe as far back as the 80s. This deal is no surprise.

It's a pretty well known fact that all nations, friends and enemies, are spying on each other every day. France has a good reason to do this.

And it just happened again last month.
