If it designed to be used to protect intelectual property then it is now abused by large companies for making absurd claims, in this case Microsoft.
Makes me want to patent the “O”-button… peple cant write blgs withut it.
It is really absurd what some companies try to patent, like “internet on a mobile phone” see the software patent of the month award http://www.nosoftwarepatents-award.com/vote200607/index.en.html
