Does anybody really think the system works? At all?
If I were dictator for life, I would line all of the patent attorneys up against
the wall and shoot them. No fooling.
While it would probably seem extreme at the time, I have no doubt that within
ten years or so, after a flood of innovation and booming business activity,
history would acknowledge that it was the right thing to do!
Alas, I am not dictator for life, so instead we just get to sit around watching
these legal parasites bleed the lifeblood of companies into their own pockets.
Sigh.[ Reply to This | # ]

This is clearly a prime example of the US patent system
being completely broken.
How long has the X windowing system supported multiple
terminal windows? I have used, and have seen others use
as well, various terminal windows as non-primary monitoring
devices for various things (e.g. tail -f some_log_file).
Now we have "panels" where we can have little animated icons
that show the time, the weather, wireless signal strengh,
system loads, when updates are available, etc.
There is nothing novel about this stuff. It is just a
natural growth of having more and more resources available
to monitor and show more of what is going on.
Disgusting.

no-one is actually trying to get the patent invalidated as being non-patentable
in the first place...
far too many times we see the software patents being fought on the basis of
prior art or claim construction... never whether the subject is even patentable
in the first place...
This would be because they want to preserve the "legitimacy" of their
own software patents...[ Reply to This | # ]

Maybe the judge decided to go forward on this without awaiting
reexamination results from the USPO because he knew it would never
survive claims construction. Interval was trying to patent a nebulous
concept.

There is nothing new here. Any 1970's avionics system like an ATI radar warning
system display or heads-up display performed essentially the same function.
The problem is the software industry has pre-8080 amnesia. There is a wealth of
prior art in the old digital flight simulators and avionics. The problem is,
most of that material was at least confidential so it never got scanned into any
databases and is not online. [ Reply to This | # ]

They are so embroiled in playing word games that they mis the whole point that
the alleged patent DOES NOT DESCRIBE AN INVENTION. At best it suggests goals
that some system might like to achieve. That is NOT an invention. It it NOT a
system or a program or a machine or anything like that ... by any stretch of
anyone's imagination.
The whole patent system seems to have lost even the basic concept of the thing
being patented. They are not granting patents on WISHES and allowing nut-case
thugs to sue people over them.[ Reply to This | # ]

If you blow away the smoke screen setup by the patent language and just step
back you can see this is just another attempt to cut the 'Desktop view' pie into
another chunk. The patents should have never been issued since this is a look
and feel issue. I thought the desktop presentation issue was resolved many years
ago when Microsoft lost their 'desktop' view, look and feel, lawsuit.
Why are we seeing this again? Just because the wording has changed? But the
subject matter and end result are still the same; how the desktop presents
information to the user. This is an entirely personal subject and should have
never been issued a patent because I adjust my real world desk, with real paper,
the way it suits me. I don't want some stupid software package telling me how I
should arrange my virtual desktop, just because some company was issued a patent
for the virtual world.[ Reply to This | # ]

I haven't read the whole patent (I'm a developer), but from the bits I've
skimmed, can someone explain how this isn't trying to patent banner ads?[ Reply to This | # ]
