Hi, W3C to study patent's threat to HTML http://news.com.com/2100-1032-5082046.html Patent Politics http://news.com.com/2009-1023_3-5082004.html Interesting tidbit from the second article: Doyle's fervent belief in the patent system may be in his genes. His grandfather used patents to protect more than 60 inventions in the papermaking industry, including a 1918 "Paper-Machine," a 1949 "Pulp Drainer" and a 1965 "Apparatus for Draining Fibrous Material."
