As a web designer and programmer I urge the W3 to stand firm on patent-free standards. Patented standards would cause numerous problems both financial and technical for the open web. If the W3 is to remain relevant to web standards they must remain impartial. The current state of open standards provides the competitive environment that allows any business the chance to succeed. A web laden with patents and royalties would lock out many smaller businesses and drastically slow down the rate of innovation that is common place today. Please keep the web open and free of royalties. Cymen Vig cvig@raw-io.com
