Submission + - Prior art in Barracude-Trend Micro lawsuit
Joe Barr writes: Bruce Byfield reports at Linux.com that a Swedish developer, Goran Fransson, has "given a deposition in the Barracuda-Trend Micro case that appears to seriously undermine Trend Micro's patent on gateway virus scanning." Gransson has cobbled together a product sold by Ten Four, the company he worked for at the time, to prove that it provided gateway virus scanning in 1995. If you were — or worked for — a Ten Four customer at the time, you might be able to help Barracude prove that Trend Micro's case ignores prior art.
