Please be apprised of the following Legal Notices:
|
||||
|
||||
A) The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has
|
||||
ruled that the Netscape Navigator code does not infringe Wang's U.S.
|
||||
Patent No. 4,751,669 ("the '669 Patent") because: 1) HTML is not
|
||||
Videotex as defined by the '669 patent; 2) web servers are not central
|
||||
suppliers; and 3) Navigator does not "connect," as defined by the '669
|
||||
Patent, to web servers on the Internet. Wang may appeal this decision to
|
||||
the Federal Circuit. Wang contended that its Patent disclosing a
|
||||
"Videotex" system, is infringed by the following functionality in the
|
||||
Netscape Navigator code: 1) the animated logo and status line indicators
|
||||
--See Claims 1,8 and 9; 2) the "File Save As" function --See Claims
|
||||
23-27; 3) Bookmarks and Rename Bookmarks in the Properties window --See
|
||||
Claims 20-22; 4) storing HTML, GIF, and JPEG files and adding filename
|
||||
extensions --See Claim 38
|
||||
|
||||
B) Intermind owns pending U.S. patent applications on communications
|
||||
systems which employ metadata ("channel objects") to define a control
|
||||
structure for information transfer. The Netscape code does not infringe
|
||||
as released; however, modifications which utilize channel objects as
|
||||
described by Intermind should be considered carefully. The following is
|
||||
a statement from Intermind: "Intermind's claims fundamentally involve
|
||||
the use of a control structure to automate communications. ...The
|
||||
essence of Intermind's top claim is that two devices sender and receiver
|
||||
have persistent storage, communicate over a network, and exchange a
|
||||
control structure including metadata which describes: 1) what
|
||||
information is to be updated, 2) when to update this information, and 3)
|
||||
how to transfer the updated information. In addition, at least the
|
||||
receiving device must be able to process the metadata in order to
|
||||
perform the update determination and transfer. Any digital
|
||||
communications system which incorporates all of these elements will be
|
||||
covered by Intermind's patents." See Intermind.com.
|
||||
|
||||
C) Stac, Inc., and its licensing agent Hi/fn, own several patents which
|
||||
disclose data compression methods implementing an LZS compression
|
||||
algorithm, including U.S. Patent Nos. 4,701,745 and 5,016, 009 ("the
|
||||
Stac Patents"). The Netscape Communicator code does not perform
|
||||
compression. If you modify the Netscape source code to perform
|
||||
compression, please take notice of the Stac Patents.
|
||||
|
||||
D) Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") does not guarantee
|
||||
that any source code or executable code available from the mozilla.org
|
||||
domain is Year 2000 compliant.
