You know what would be really useful? To find out about these things when the patent application is submitted, instead of after it has been granted. Then we could submit prior art to the PTO and maybe prevent bad patents from being granted in the first place. Might save a lot of law suits later. It doesn’t do us much good to moan about it after the horse has left the barn.

[...] Ajaxian – Remote Scripting Transport Patent – Remote scripting (RS) is a set of methods that allow a webpage to communicate with the server without reloading the page. In this way a web page can become a lot more interactive. Working in the background to keep the data on the page fresh. RS is now in widespread use across the web. Well, I’d like to now state publicly that I invented remote scripting. Why aren’t I rich now? Well, like most things I “invent”… I’m not the first. History has it that RS was first invented in 1996 by MS. Brent Ashley invented a version of RS in 2000. My version in 2001 was definitely not the first. RS is basically a technology discovered almost simultaneously by many web experimentalists trying to push the browser to the edge. Well, it appears that there was one of us that actually applied for a patent. Why didn’t I patent it… well, patents are supposed to be non-obvious. [...]

You know, there is a thing called Common Knowledge and as for this one, there’s no way they can use this patent to play up against anyone.
I’m just surprised that this thing is even called an invention. The method of using tag to grab dynamic javascript off the server has been around long before these dumb asses applied the patent.
I think this patent should really be revoked. tag usage is a common knowledge of javascript.

Well it is truth that a variety of companies (Unisys, NCR, EOLAS, etc.) have patented things like ecommerce or search on the Web and are going around shaking down those who can pay. So what we have here doesn’t surprise me. The truth is that it won’t effect most of us unless you use it and get big enough to get literally extorted.

These general patents are legalized shake down systems plain and simple. This unwritten system favors those with power and with the money to patent that which is practically in the public domain.

Yea, right. They will not be able to successfully sue anyone for this. They are saying they invented the script tag basically. Or the question mark. Maybe they invented HTML? Oh, it must be Al Gore! They invented the internet, computers, and the space time continuum. And the Flux Capacitor, which makes time travel possible. Whatabunchofidiots.

Same thing happened for India as well. We have some rice called "Basmati" which is exclusively was available in India and exported to other countries. And suddenly RiceTec Inc applied the patent and got it. http://www.american.edu/ted/basmati.htm And after some fight the patent was revoked http://www.cb3rob.net/~merijn89/ARCH1/msg00372.html I agree about the stupid patent system.
