Eolas Patent: W3C's Berners-Lee Writes to U.S. Patent Director
10:01 PM - Oct 28, 2003
Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the Web, wrote a letter Tuesday to the U.S. Patent and Trademarks Director regarding the Eolas patent, asking that the patent be invalidated. For more information, see the W3C’s Briefing, World Wide Web Consortium Presents US Patent Office with Evidence Invalidating Eolas Patent and the letter from Tim Berners-Lee to Hon. James E. Rogan. The letter is quite insightful about the impact of this recent lawsuit on the Web.
