:-) No Chad, I'm quite sure few, if any, are aware of this:
"The patent--issued on Valentine's Day--covers all rich-media
technology
implementations, including Flash, Flex, Java, Ajax, and XAML, when the
rich-media application is accessed on any device over the Internet,
according to the patent holders...
A patent has been granted to a relatively unknown California
Web-design firm
for an invention its creator says covers the design and creation of
most
rich-media applications used over the Internet. The patent holder,
Balthaser
Online Inc., says it could license nearly any rich-media Internet
application across a broad range of devices and networks.
Potentially tens of thousands of businesses--not only software makers
employing its business processes but companies offering rich-media on
their
Websites--could be subject to licensing fees when they use rich-media
technology over the Internet."
Guess Adobe AND Microsoft got caught with their pants down. But all is
not
lost. Neil Balthaser, a former VP of strategy for Macromedia, plans to
sell
the patent to someone...
