Five patents making news

7,278,273 - the Google datacenter patent

Best use of sarcasm in a PatentFizz comment - "Sun is stuck thinking in the box while Google moves ahead by thinking out of the box".


5,487,069 - the CSIRO 802.11n patent

Patents meet industry standards...again.


5,995,705 - the Burst.com patent

One of four patents successfully asserted against Microsoft and Apple. I still think the real story here is how Burst.com highlights the challenge of determining whether a patent owner is or is not a patent troll.


5,764,306 - the (alleged) iChat patent

Acacia strikes again...this time wielding a patent that stood expired for more than a year for failure to pay maintenance fees. Intervening rights, anyone?


6,368,227 - the infamous 'method of swinging' patent

The poster child for all things wrong with the US patent system has expired...for a failure to pay maintenance fees. Priceless.
