Crimes Against the Public Domain
- Asserting a patent that claims to cover podcasting in general, when numerous examples of what we now call "podcasting" existed before
- Targeting podcasters large (like Adam Carolla) and small, forcing them to pay egregious licensing fees or be scared out of existence
Prior Art Description
EFF filed a petition for inter partes review, giving the Patent Office numerous examples of prior art on the basis of which the patent should be invalidated. Click here for the filing.
