Subject: Re: [pki-tc] Re: [egov] e-Gov: Distributing confidential information
Anders, I am fascinated that someone thinks they have an enforceable claim to having invented the idea of sending someone a HTTPS web link by e-mail. It would be even more fascinating if they think such a patent holds up outside of the United States. Did your correspondent provide either a patent registration number, or an identity, or a convincing line of argument, that can be shared with the list?
