No. This is simply not true. First, the "strength" of the patent is only of secondary interest in a "research" group where the focus should be on determining what is the best mechanism or process for ending the spam problem. The "strength" of a patent will only become interesting once one is at the point of recommending specific solutions -- not when we're still trying to understand what solutions are possible. To understand this application domain, we need to understand the patented methods, and their prior art, as well as the unpatented ones. Discovering and discussing prior art is useful in that this prior art might reveal some aspect of a solution that the patent doesn't cover. Remember, the goal here is "research" or "learning." Also, the presence of prior art is something that should eventually get used by those who take the non-research step of recommending and investing in specific solutions. Just as it is important to know that one or another method is encumbered, it is important to know that prior art may exist for one or another encumbering patent. bob wyman _______________________________________________ Asrg mailing list Asrg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/asrg
