USPTO Rejects 19 of 47 claims in JPEG Patent
Computerworld reported that the U.S. patent office has issued an Office Action that rejected 19 of the 47 claims of the Forgent Networks '672 JPEG patent. The Public Patent Foundation initiated the request to have the USPTO reexamine the patent.
Here's hoping that the JPEG patent is completely rejected. Microsoft's Window Media Photo , which will be built into Vista is Microsoft's new solution that is supposedly superior to JPEG. Having the patent completely overturned could affect Microsoft's marketing of MWMP since JPEG is so widely adopted.
