PUBPAT protects JPEG

No Comments »

Back in 2005 PUBPAT (Public Patent Foundation) filed a request to revoke Compression Labs Inc.’s (CLI) patent on data compression, CLI was using there hold of the 672 patent to harass anyone using the Joint Photographic Experts Group (’JPEG’) format. When Forgent Networks Inc. (FORG) acquired CLI back in 1997 they started an aggressive campaign of asserting their newly acquired 672 patent.

Yesterday.. FORG surrendered the patent claim!

This could have affected everyone; You, Me even my cat wiskers anybody that turns on a bloody computer, many software developers use the JPEG public format in their applications.

What the hell is wrong with the world this days… Human greed… money… capitalism… screw progress just pay meeee….

A world ruled by apes has no future…
