I read this patent and I think it covers every conceivable method of
communication between computers done by applications, connected by any
means. If this patent is enfoceable, Microsoft would own the methods of
communicating on any form of communication means applications could
communicate with each other. Claim 1 defines this.
The USPTO does not enforce patents and patents are worthless until they
stand up to a challenge in court.
This patent looks to be largely unenforceable. Who are they going to
take to court? Everybody on the internet or a network who is running
applications that communicate with each other?
Yes, the USPTO has really show its intelligence on this one.
