The Patent Epidemic |
|
Back in 2001, something strange happened in the world of patent law. Microsoft, which had been fighting a lawsuit by Priceline, suddenly gave up. The suit, filed in late 1999, claimed that Priceline had patented its “name your own price” auction strategy, and that no one else could use it without a license from the company. Microsoft had been using a similar strategy on its Expedia travel site and had been arguing in U.S. District Court in Connecticut that the auction method was too obvious to be patented. |

A New Internet Boom |
|
Very few companies get to a point where their names become both a noun and a verb in everyday parlance. In the 1960s, Xerox achieved that feat. But, the only company to come close to that achievement in recent times is Google. |
