Can there possibly be any truth in any of this?

The following is an article in the Danish paper Information:

Do you know anything about this. It is supposedly the company Walid
(http://www.walid.com/) that has patented the transformation of non-a-z for
use in URLs.

An article in CumputerWorld (admittedly a year and a half old) -
http://www.computerworld.com/managementtopics/ebusiness/story/0,10801,59043,00.html - has some references, among other things to the text of the patent.

The Danish site Softwarepatenter.dk has it also: http://www.softwarepatenter.dk/walid.html. It is quite new there. Is this
whole thing just "hoax"?
