> 8/21/95 CHICAGO: Eolas Technologies Inc. announced today that it has > completed a licensing agreement with the University of California for the > exclusive rights to a pending patent covering the use of embedded program > objects, or "applets," within World Wide Web documents. > > Also covered is the use of any algorithm which implements dynamic > bi-directional communications between Web browsers and external applications. >[....] I sincerely hope this patent isn't going to stick, for the good of the web as a whole... And for the record, I just want to point out that the ``technology which enabled Web documents to contain fully-interactive "inline" program objects'' was existing in ViolaWWW and was *released* to the public, and in full source code form, even back in 1993... Actual conceptualization and existence occured before '93. -Pei pei@gnn.com http://ebay.gnn.com/people/pei/home.htmlReceived on Monday, 21 August 1995 16:02:08 UTC
