Re: Re: LinuxWorld Magazine[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Patent Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by M. Arthur Auslander on August 24, 2003 at 15:02:57: In Reply to: Re: LinuxWorld Magazine posted by James Ivey on August 24, 2003 at 12:58:17: : I've been procuring software patents for more than 12 years. Some of my clients include Sun Microsystems, Liquid Audio (portfolio bought by MSFT -- and a patent under litigation slashdotted), Vxtreme (whole company bought by MSFT), and many others. The bulk of my work in the last 6 years has pertained to software in the context of e-commerce. : I am also familiar with Linux (writing this from mozilla in Mandrake 8.2 -- yes, I need to upgrade! -- right now). I write bash scripts. And I use (and love) open source software. I am very sympathetic to open source and hope it survives and thrives. : Feel free to contact me privately if you have more questions. : Regards.
: : Specifically, I'm hoping to find someone to write an article providing advice for the individual software developers and the people who run open source projects to help them stay out of patent lawsuits. : : I'm imagining this may cover things like: : : - What is a software patent (SP)? : : or some sub-/super-set of this. : : Our distribution is 40K+ issues targetted toward business decision makers. The author would receive by-line and their picture in the periodical. If the author can make available a variety of photos of themselves we can make the article really look professional -- our graphics people are fantastic. Reprints are available as well. : : This area of law I believe is on the verge of growing -- based on the SCO lawsuit and the patent legislation currently being approved in the EU. : : Please send a short e-mail with your background to myself: : : Kevin Bedell
