I appreciate you enthusiasum in discusing this case, but it appears that you don't quite understand how patent law works, and particuarly how patent claims are construed in regard to infringement. You should note that the interpretation of the claims is a matter of law on which the Courts...

What would your solution be? I could only suggest that patent terms are amended to be more commensurate with the time and effort taken to develop the technology. This is something already available for pharmaceuitcal patents where an extension is provided when it takes up most of the patent...

What can be patented relates in many way to what it accomplishes. TT's method of displaying the dynamic bid and ask on a static price ladder was intended to make it easier to see the order flow and to allow an potentially more accurate trade to be performed. A spreadsheet doesn't provide those...

I appreciate that you don't think the patent is valid, and I'm not necessarily trying to argue that it is, I'm just trying to explain why it was accepted by the USPTO and how the Courts interpret it. TT's patent does not pertain to a sequence of numbers per se - the actual numbers in any of...

I'm not really sure why you regard TT as being so different to a normal patent holder. It appears to me that they developed a lot of different technology that went into X Trader, which was then copied by everyone else. Why shouldn't they sue them for infringement? Maybe I just have a...

I not exactly sure what you mean by by compliance is impossible, but I assume you mean that it would be impossible to avoid infringement while carrying out previously known methods of the prior art. In which case, yes this is a well known test for novelty - if you were to do something that was...

Trading Technologies appears to have at least 173 granted patents in the US - so take your pick I guess. I assume the booktrader change would be related to one of TT's earlier patents regarding single click trading on the DOM.

I hardly think Trading Technologies could be described as a patent troll. The usual method of a patent troll is to collect a bunch of software patents of dubious novelty and inventiveness, mostly by purchasing them of the original inventors for a modest fee. Then they wait until it appears...

If you go into account management and untick the data subscription for US equities (and everything else that isn't free) - you won't be charged anything per month.

Are you trading this, or just making pretty pictures?

Hey, easy there Prof - if he realises how vaulable it is, he'll just increase the price!

So defense is social spending?

But the bases aren't there for the purposes of warfare - they're there as weapons of politics. Potential long range incontinental ballistic politics just doesn't have the same effect.

Unfortunately, I think doing that would still amount to infringement of the patent - purposely providing customers with the means to infringe could also be considered as wilful infringement, which could attract triple damages. Doing a quick search, I found this project relating to open...

Do you really beleive the US has military bases all around the world for anyones benefit apart from the US?

So far they have spent nearly 1 billion dollars on the clean up. They could continue to spend that much every month for a year and still make a profit. Not to mention the tax write-offs they will claim for years to come. BP aren't going bankrupt any time soon.

When producing 3d graphics, there are two major uses of the video ram in the graphics card - the first use is storing all the textures, which are basically bitmaps images, that are applied to the geometry in the 3d scene. The second main use is for storing the image data when anti-aliasing...

They can't run as background keyloggers, because multitasking isn't provided by the operating system - it simply won't allow an app program to run in the background. But if the app itself is malware - then maybe. Although, have you ever really trusted MT4?

There's no built-in system for having more than cursor on the screen - the operating system will just choose one mouse and one keyboard to use from what's plugged in. Does seem odd though, that it's taken so long for for software to provide for multiple cursors and multiple users on the same...

I haven't used it, but it looks like it's just an SDK (software development kit), so you need to develop the application yourself.
