“U.S. federal Judge Colleen McMahon has dismissed a claim by British Telecom that it developed and holds a patent to the hyperlink technology used to whisk Web users from one site to another.” The complete article can be read over at Wired. It’s hard for me to believe that BT thought they could win this case. What were they going to do, sue ever person that ever put a hyperlink on their website? It never fails to surprise me the levels that corporations will go to make a few green backs.
