I'm not saying whether or not patents are good or bad.

From what I can remember, the original Eolas patent applied to the use of HTML object/embed tags to embed plugins directly within an HTML page - this was trivially easy to get around by using Javascript to write out the object/embed tags rather than having them in the HTML.

Follow up patents sounds bad, though. :-(
