Title: Patents
Post by: benn600 on December 20, 2007, 07:49:58 pm

I see that MC says protected by US patents.  It is in the About section.  What are these patents for and what are the implications of the whole patent "thing?"

Patents are public record.  You can find out if you try (but it might be hard).

Not so tough really, thanks to Google patents:
Licensed digital material distribution system and method (http://www.google.com/patents?id=GEx4AAAAEBAJ)
Method and system for licensing digital works (http://www.google.com/patents?id=bJt6AAAAEBAJ)
