So What? Ever heard of a spreadsheet product called Visicalc. Visicalc
ran
on CPM OS( Late 70s early 80s). The company( the name excapes me ) that
developed Visicalc held the patent on the spreadsheet type GUI's also.
Then along came Lotus 1.2.3 , MuliPlan , and even MS Excel.
I have not seen any of the products removed from the market by patent
infringement violations.
