The technology in question included the use of a software activation key to keep users from installing licensed software on more than one computer that Unidoc said Microsoft deployed in Windows XP and Office.

What's the point of innovations and providing new solutions when MickeySoft is allowed to sweep-in and steal it?No incentive... just join a giant corporation and do the bare minimum!Besides.. the judge should have recused himself.. massive constitutional violation - not that any of you c**kroaches care though!

Uniloc is also known as SoftAnchor,<a class="user" href="http://www.uniloc.com/softanchor/" rel="nofollow">http://www.uniloc.com/softanchor/</a>SoftAnchor was the DRM they used on Football Manager 2009, which screwed up and made news because the font they used on the Disc couldn't tell if it was an 1, I, or l, and if it was a 0 or O.Also, their activation servers were DDOS'd, so it couldn't activate.<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/d3dznc" rel="nofollow">http://digg.com/d3dznc</a>Doesn't a patent troll have to not continue to sell it's software?

Apparently I'm being dug down by folks who think Mr. Richardson is a "patent troll". He's not. Get the facts straight. Richardson came up with a way to let people try out software before buying it -- a win-win by any measure. Prior to his invention, people either had to buy a package outright just to SEE if it would do the job for them (and eat the cost if it didn't), or steal it.This one is about a big money-fat corporation f**king over a little guy.

It's also an algorithm, which is likewise unpatentable.
