Patent trolls

By SysAdmin1138 on August 29, 2007 10:25 AM
I see that Polaris IP is suing several large companies over patent infringement. The patent? Email auto-responders. I wonder why Novell wasn't included in the suit since I was doing JUST THAT with GroupWise 4.1 in 1997.

Oh wait. That's not infringement, that's prior art. My bad.
