Hi, Refer http://samirsrivastava.typepad.com for posting on Standards
And Patents. Copyright of posting on Standards And Patents is free for
personal usage. Arguments were presented in favour of that standards
and their usage should be free from patents. If standards are
patentable then mathematical / scientific theories ( innovation of the
perfection level) should be patentable also. IMHO after the
development of the baseline specifications we lack freedom to
standardize best. Standards are developed by community & for
community. There is no role of patent hunters in that. Comments /
flames on the blog or here are welcome. Regards Samir
