Does the reason Theora is relatively safe from patent infringement lawsuit have more to do with it actually not being encumbered, or is it because its use is decentralized? For example, FreeType is not patent-free, nor is Linux, yet they succeed because on the one hand, they are open source, and those who maintain them do not guarantee anything regarding pate...

Hi David, Sorry for the delay getting back to you, been a bit buried: On Oct 19, 2015, at 10:12 AM, David Chisnall <David.Chisnall at cl.cam.ac.uk> wrote: >> The TL;DR version of this is that I think we should discuss relicensing all of LLVM under the Apache 2.0 license and add a runtime exception clause.

...igned to" +verizon "telephone" IP. One patent related to voicemail Results 1 - 1 of 1 from uspto.gov for +"assigned to" +verizon voicemail My thoughts, the voicemail one is broad, and could be circumvented easily. If I were a juror, I would laugh but an infringment is an infringement is an infringement. I would make Vonage stop using the technology. The VoIP patent however is a bit more detailed, and although it can be construed as broad, that too would make me side with Verizon, but not to the degree of shutting down Vonage. On the flip side of things, Vonage is no stran...

Just thought I'd put my two cents in about the trademark infringement issue. I ran the true SSH for about a month some time back. When I learned of OpenSSH, I dropped the official product and built OpenSSH. Quite frankly, OpenSSH is a superior package. It is cleaner, commercially unencumbered, and with its affiliation to the OpenBSD team, I feel more secure abo...

...We are in the business of developing/productizing Multimedia codecs for embedded systems. Recently, Vorbis has gained good popularity. We are also developing it. But we face few problems related to patents. Vorbis claims to be patent free. Is there any particular search made for possible patent infringements and corresponding report published? We need to convince our customers sometime about this issue. I have started with patents listed on the website of "www.mp3licensing.com". Some of them are very generic and it appears as if Vorbis code might be infringing upon few of them. They ar...

...k presented by Andrew Trigell regarding patents where he claims developers often overestimate the scope of patents (http://news.swpat.org/2010/03/transcript-tridgell-patents/) because they fixate on the title and summary instead of the actual claims. The key point he was making is that in order to infringe a patent you apparently have to infringe on ALL ELEMENTS of a PRIMARY claim. If you don't do something in the primary claim then by definition you aren't doing the things in secondary claims that reference it (ie, where the claim reads "... in claim X ..."). In short if you workar...

...rote: > I apologize if this has been answered previously, but why is DSA being > removed from LLVM? I ask because I am currently using the latest CVS > versions of LLVM and DSA. There are two reasons for doing this: 1. DSA is currently only used by llvm-poolalloc. 2. More seriously, DSA infringes on certain patents held by Microsoft, regarding unification-based points-to analysis. While DSA isn't linked into llvm-gcc by default and thus is currently only accessible through opt, the inclusion of known-to-infringe code in the main LLVM repository makes some people/organi...

...earlier becuase it's only recently that OpenSSH has become more visible. In the United States, this would invalidate the trademark because the US requires that a trademark holder exercise due dilligence in protecting the mark -- and that due dilligence has always been intrepretted as notifying infringers immediately of the infringment and making an claim if the infringement is not stopped. Any lapse in exercising the rights is interpretted, under US Law, as an abandonment of the mark. Please find attached the response from SSH that I received. If the matter should come to court, it should be suf...

Whenever something gets posted a or a code of conduct that comes down to don't be a jerk is adapted, there's lots of people who feel their right to be jerks has been infringed.

...s if they are dumb as I'm new to this area, and I just want to learn.. 1. Like the btrfs name implies (b-trees fs..) I guess that it works basically like WAFL (and ZFS), is that right ? 2. Are there any big differences between btrfs-wafl-zfs or only small ones ? 3. NetApp claims that ZFS has infringed a set of their patents. They say that "ZFS was a conscious reimplementation of their WAFL filesystem". What about btrfs ? isn't there a risk for a similar lawsuit against btrfs' community ? 4. What about Solid State disks ? Assuming that SSD is the future, will btrfs be able to...

...e patch is against asterisk to make it interoperate with the g729 libarary and this may or may not be non-infringing. However, the distribution of the g729 libraries themselves are almost certainly infringing. There is also the possibility that the patch to asterisk may be ruled a contribuatory infringement. -- snip -- The patch is not against Asterisk - it is against Intel's sample code. No parts of Asterisk are modified in order to run this code. Nor am I requesting that Asterisk be modified in any way to support this. The code produced by running the build script is a shared librar...

Dear all, This is a little bit off-topic, but I was wondering if anyone has any informed opinion on whether data (ie. a dataset) is copyrightable? Hadley

...the rest. All of the IP holders except Qualcomm and Huawei have released their patents to the public as far as opus is concerned, and the general consensus from the developers is that Qualcomm automatically discloses patent claims against codecs whether they apply or not, and that opus does not infringe on the Qualcomm patents. The big unknown for me is Huawei. I have not heard anything from anyone on whether opus infringes on the Huawei patent or not. On the IETF list, discussing IP issues was discouraged, but I hope now that the Xiph list is active again the developers can give us some insig...

...ter of public record and it is open to anyone to review the details of SSH Corp's trademark portfolio. Under US law, a trademark registration entitles the owner to exclusive use of the trademark as it is registered, in relation to the goods and/or services for which it is registered. Trademark infringement occurs when another person uses the same, or a substantially identical mark, for the same or related goods or services, in a manner which is likely to cause consumer confusion. Consequently, use of the uppercase word "SSH" or a name containing the "ssh" or "SSH" m...

...x disabled for this recipient So I'm emailing this to you guys I'm thinking of creating a project based on JBoss EAP the same way CentOS does with RHEL. Obviously I can't call it JBoss EAP so I thought I could call it CentAP, for Community Enterprise Application Platform. Will this infringe on the Red Hat and/or CentOS trademarks? -- Pouar

Sprint Nextel is sueing vonage, voiceglo and theglobe.com for infringing on VoIP patents. Sprint Nextel claims to have about 100 patents on VoIP technologies. Does anyone know which ones this article is talking about, and if so does asterisk have any of those features? The reason I am asking is that the article is vague, Vonage uses a fairly standard codec set, I dont know about the others.
