GraphOn Sues Google for Patent Infringement

CNET reports that software maker GraphOn has filed suit against Google for violating its patents in a multitude of Google products, including Google’s Base, AdWords, Blogger, Sites, and YouTube.

Is GraphOn in the right here? Forum members are not satisfied. Here are some reactions:

Looking closely at the patents suggests no real patent infringement. One forum member who reviewed a patent says “The first patent describes every remotely user-content driven site ever. I have a sneaking suspicion here that everyone on this forum could be sued successfully if this holds up.”

(But of course, GraphOn has sued the moneymaker. As incrediBILL says, “Grab a lawyer and join in the gold rush!”)

Forum discussion continues at WebmasterWorld.
