What does this mean for ad-supported startups? Does anyone have specifics on the patent issue here? I didn't get it from the news coverage.

- dclara 13y agoI haven't read the patents yet. According to the original article and it's comments, looks like there are two aspects are infringed: auction model and user re-targeting model. It looks like the auction model based on the number of hits is pretty obvious now, but it was not quite obvious in 1999. The re-targeting model is definitely novel in 1999.
