Amigo follows up on serious allegations about H&P and says: "I also just asked Unisys as it says here, and am waiting for a reply. If true, H&P could probably be forced to close."
[ If H&P indeed didn't pay royalties for Unisys' GIF algorithm, they might not be forced to close per se, but if this is indeed true, and Unisys decides to sue, they might have to pay some serious fines. Also note that while this is not in unmoderated, it's highly speculative, unconfirmed and generally should be taken with the usual grain of salt - CK ]

Serious allegations about H&P : Comment 18 of 164 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Dave on 08-Nov-2001 19:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (Ben Hermans/Hyperion): Especially with Tim B-L on his bio page has a biliography about hypertext as long as your
arm - dating back to the 40s/50s in some cases.
They might as well claim that hitting the action key in a psuedoconversational 3270 interaction
would come under it. That would be funny, puny BT trying to get one over IBM. Im sure IBM would
come up with a list of patent infringements as long as your arm ( including the mouse pointer icon
in context one ) that would put anyone off - and thats the reason these companies amass patents.
With all the childish baiting that has gone on recently I wonder why you are all still bothering with the
"Amiga" marketplace. Must be "love" because it sure as hell aint "money".
Kudos,
Dave ( who is guilty of patenting anything he can think of ) |
