If I'm reading it correctly, the patent covers a very specific implementation, even mentioning use of EJB. Presumably an implementation on a different stack couldn't infringe.
- abalone 15y agoNot necessarily. Patents commonly discuss specific implementations but qualify them as just one of many possible "embodiments" of the invention.
- garbowza 15y agoIncorrect. Only what is specifically claimed (in the claims themselves) holds up in court.
- lucisferre 15y agoThe key requirement in that is going to court.
- saulrh 15y agoExactly - no matter now badwrong the patent, it still takes time and money to go to court, and the kind of people that IBM will be using this patent against don't have that time or that money.
