You can find the documentation here. The USPTO found 13 of Desire2Learn’s 14 claims to raise substantial new questions of patentability. However, the government did not a preliminary finding, as is usual with an Inter Partes challenge, because they are considering whether this challenge should be merged with the Ex Parte challenge filed by the SFLC on behalf of the Sakai, Moodle, and ATutor communities. I assume that the finding will be issued once this decision has been made.
If anybody has any further analysis of the document, please remember to tag it “edupatents” so that it will be picked up by the EduPatent Alerts system.
[…] 不错的清晰版:”美国专利商标局发现Desire2Learn公司14项主张中的13项提出了一些专利权的实质性新问题。”(另外,使用一个标签来作注解很有意思,比如’edupatents’,也就是Feldstein的在这篇帖子里的注解,在作者的部分里加入了一个需求。这就是为什么我更愿意使用常规表述而不是标签,一条常规表述比要求作者使用一个并不存在的词汇更能捕捉到在帖子里不常用到的词汇。Blackboard公司专利权网页上使用了一个常规表述,这就是为什么我从不需要考虑此问题。)Michael feldstein, e-Literate [链接] [评论] […]
