Eolas Says Day Is Night, Loss Is A Win
from the who's-right? dept
Yesterday we had the story of Eolas apparently losing "round two" in their patent review battle. We noted, at the time, that the process is pretty complex, so it's still a bit early to celebrate. However, it's still a bit surprising today to see Eolas trying to spin yesterday's story as good news for them. They claim that the original finding has been "withdrawn" and the points made in this finding apply to completely different prior art that Eolas believes they'll effectively be able to explain away. Whether or not this is true, it's yet another reminder that this is far from over -- and since Microsoft is no longer allowed to argue for their side, Eolas has the ability to say whatever they want without a response.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
