Patent Issue(s)
Hi all,
As a TC member it is my duty to report that there exists a US patent (US
patent application 09/682,969 -- finally approved about two months ago)
concerning composite systems and an additional European application being in
process. This patent is probably relevant to the CAF specs (and most likely to
BTP as well).
Basically, the patent is an extension of the Composite Systems VLDB paper
we (Gustavo Alonso and I) had at VLDB2000.
Best,
Guy
