Prior art, isn't it? Hmm.. quick! Let's patent a social network for prior art searching for patents! ;)

JJ: And the patent has already been granted, it's not a case of an application that it's later turned down. I would like to get a look at the US examiner report.

rvr: You can not patent that, it already exists :P

Peer-to-patent

I guess it's just a matter of being there first, there's nothing I can do. BTW, fernand0 is another one of the "we".

But _you_ were there first: the patent is from 26-05-2005 and your papers cited by the patent examiner are from 2003 and 2004.

That means that the patent examiner has considered that what is claimed is new and inventive compared whith what you published. If he had considered otherwise the patent would not hace been granted.

At first sight it doesn't seem so to me. That's why I would like to have a look at the US examiner reasoning. I think it's avalaible somewhere in the US Patent and Trademark Office web. If I find it, I'll let you know.

I meant being there to patent first. From a shallow examination, he does seem to mention other methods, but even the similarity in title is striking. But I thought it was the patent requester the one who had included the references...
Besides, the patent mentions comments (which, BTW, are difficult to assign to blogs, first, because, as we do here, we don't mention an URL, and second, because blogs can be collective, while comments are personal)

The first claim seems pretty general even if comments are mentioned but since I haven't read either the patent or your papers carefully, I shouldn't give an opinion yet :-)

The patent requester didn't cite your papers, they were cited by the US examiners during the procedure. You can see that in the firt page of the granted patent US7373606

Perhaps the applicant has cited it too (I haven't really read all the document) butI don't seem to be able to find "merelo" or "guervos" in the ascii fulltext of the patent.

Hi, JJ!

IMHO, you should check if those guys used any part of your work or -- taking into account there is someone -- even violated/broke the license you put your code/idea/method/etc.

Intelectual property infringement??

I really have no idea. I would need a lawyer to check that, and I'm pretty sure that when IBM patents something, they do it on solid ground.

Hey JJ,
Why you need a lawyer for check? You can do a market with SMS Marketing in Rawalpindi and its can help you a lot to market your brand.
