Creative patents and worms
Oh dear, yet more proof of the stupidity of US software patents, and another reason to stop a similar system being adopted by the EU. Much to Apple’s chagrin, Creative have been awarded a patent that covers the selection by the user of a least one track in a portable media player as a user navigates through a hierarchy using three or more successive screens
.
Not sure if Creative will be rushing to patent the idea of shipping MP3 players infected with worms though.
