US out of control. There needs to be tight new regulation regarding them. Everyone wants a piece of someone elses success because it midly looks similar to what you patented yet did nothing with the patent. Not sure why Griffin McElroy chooses to word this as a legal victory and setting some sort of precedent. Considering a private settlement was reached, there is no "law" involved and it sets no precedent whatsoever. If anything it just means that Microsoft considered the cost of going to trial versus the cost of a settlement and chose the option that required the least amount of money.

there is a windows version of doom and how it uses directx and it could use the networking features and such. Apparently they forgot that too.

Development of said patent within six-twelve months should be mandatory, because the point is to protect you from competition while you are developing the product in order to foster innovation and allow for the country to move forward. If you're just sitting on it, you're holding everyone else back, and that defeats the purpose of IP protection. Hmm, the existence of MUDs prior to the filing of this patent (and online multiplayer going back to Net Trek back when the internet was like ten bored scientists working on various government-funded projects) should blow the whole suit right out of
