The W3C hereby issues a call for prior art on US patent 5,764,992 [1]
that may apply to the Widgets updates specification[2]. Pursuant to
its rights under W3C's Patent Policy, Apple Inc. has excluded all
claims of the aforementioned patent from the W3C Royalty-Free License
commitment. The PAG seeks information about software update systems
available before June 1995 that offer a viable solution that may apply
to the use of updates in Widgets. People who wish to provide feedback
should refer to the call[3] for more information or write back to
[email protected]
Please distribute this call for prior art as widely as possible.
