Subject: Re: [xtm-wg] Trademark issue?
What they say is that they offer a *solution*: "Web-enabled transactions in a patent-pending XML/XTM environment using proprietary and licensed applications." The wording is ambiguous, it may be understood that: a) XML/XTM environment is patent-pending, or b) solution for transactions is patent-pending. If I read them right, it's just a clumsy phrase. They can't be serious about patenting XTM. But - I'm not a lawyer ... As for patenting a solution, Ontopia, for ex., or any other company sells XTM solutions that may be patented (are they?) -Gen EF> Hello everyone: EF> I was just made aware of the following web site.
