Oracle Fights EpicRealm Patents 56

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday July 10, 2006 @05:31AM from the always-squash-the-little-guy-first dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Oracle is now fighting EpicRealm's web patents after Safelite settled with EpicRealm, then asked Oracle to pay, as per their software license agreement. EpicRealm's patents are vague and 'describe a technique where a web site updates only part of a website instead of having to rebuild the entire page. That may look a lot like DHTML, but apparently it isn't the same.'"

They (presumably) have a fourth, which may well be original and non-obvious.
