| 218188 | 2004-02-26 03:26:00 | Well who used it in the first place? Besides if someone makes the same thing before you have the idea patented, then isn't the patent invalid? | PoWa (203) | ||
| 218189 | 2004-02-26 05:25:00 | I agree with the first comment made :p I must say that all this patenting things like Hyperlinks and Browser Plugin Capabilities etc is absolutely ridiculous! Think of what an end it could mean for the consumer!!! Chill. |
