So someone has a patent on rich media.
This company claims a patent win that enables them to charge anyone who has created rich media applications to include those deployed using “Flex, Java, Ajax, Flash etc”.
Fortunately, this article goes on to explain that “it’s possible that Balthaser may struggle to enforce its patent, because of prior art–the process where a patent is invalid if it can be proven that the innovation in question already existed before the patent was filed.”
I couldn’t say that if I were Balthaser that I’d actually attempt to enforce this patent for any amount of money. It just wouldn’t be worth the embarrasment and ridicule you’d have to endure.
