Can they patent it if other people are already using it?

Hi guys,

I read on /. that MS has patented the
user-is-typing-a-message-notification IM feature  used by jabber and
other IM systems. If a US patent is taken out can it be enforced in NZ?

<README>
I an NOT asking for legal advice - just interested
</README>

I would really miss the user-is-typing-a-message-notification

Cheers

Paul
