Earlier this week, a U.S. appeals court ruled in favor of Google, Amazon and J.C. Penney, and against Eolas on the basis that sections of Eolas’s patents were invalid. (http://bit.ly/1biM9wX)

M·CAM correctly anticipated the Court’s Decision in our 2003 presentation to Columbia University’s Eben Moglen and the notable GNU founder Richard Stallman,

“It sure would have been nice if Microsoft wouldn’t have followed the trail that Doyle put them on – namely one Pei Wei! Arguing inequitable conduct on that one was a good way to get an awful lot of other art removed from consideration. In 1990 to 1992, prior to any of the Eolas or Pei Wei, over 20 patents issued containing interactive hypermedia claims that were unconsidered in any of the Eolas patent examinations.”
