Re: 2012 filing
Had it? In 2001 or earlier there was "commonplace" software which met precisely the primary claims of the '086 patent?
Look, I think '086 is a bogus patent. But it does claim a specific "invention", not just "hey, what about transmitting images?". Lots of commentators are throwing around prior-art claims, but few to none are citing specific examples of specific implementations of the specific claims in the patent. And that's how patents work; they're not overturned based on handwaving generalizations.
Criticize harder, in other words.
