Actually it was granted early February this year, the database is just not updated yet.

And from the same company you have several other approved EPO patents that would be enough to create nightmares to any developer who has ever written a single line of UI code.

That's the way I would define how much crooked the entire worldwide situation of patents and copyright is -- nightmarish.


But I'm not writing all of this just to scare eber42, even if that would make me "a partner to a conspiracy to willfully infringe on intellectual property" or "contributory infringement" or whatever they call it these days.

Every single line of code that I've ever written violates several patents. We in EU have no right to be smugly in any way because we're not that better from the US.

Your only defense is that no one cares.

Please remember this during next election time.
