Comment "linked list" (Score 1) 477

If you RTFP, what's actually being patented is the idea of using multiple pointers so that the same item can be in more than one linked list at a time.

It is not the first and probably won't be the last patent describing some trivial use of linked lists (TFP actually lists at least four other patents featuring linked lists).

What really amazes me is the name of the patent: "Linked list" (!)
