Any idea how this will effect Webcatalog????cheers,Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------OPEN MARKET PATENTS SOUND ECOMMERCE ALARM The company announces it won patents on three widely used ecommerce technologies -- online shopping carts, session tracking and real-time credit card transactions. Depending on how broadly the patents are interpreted, it could mean the vast majority of ecommerce sites are currently using ecommerce apps that are the intellectual property of Open Market. And Open Market's CEO makes it clear the company will try to get violators to buy its software or sign licensing agreements. Our take: It's unlikely courts will interpret this so broadly, and with billions at stake there's a good chance someone will be willing to find out.http://www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/story_1833.html---------------------------------------------------------------------------Key Options Pty.
