a small software-maker has patent rights on parts of the xbrl web language<\/i><\/p>\n
scientigo, a small software maker based in charlotte, nc, say the company owns two u.s. patents (no. 5,842,213 and no. 6,393,426), that cover one of the fundamental concepts behind xml: the idea of packaging data in a self-defining format that allows it to be correctly displayed wherever it travels. scientigo ceo doyal bryant says the company plans to capitalize on the patents either by reaching licensing agreements with big corporate users of xml or by selling them to another company. <\/p>\n
“the very idea of patents on software is a contentious one, though,” according to technology review editor wade roush. “in july, the european parliament threw out a bill that would have legalized software patents across all eu member states. in the united states, where the courts have recognized software patents for some time, groups such as the electronic frontier foundation have charged that many of those patents are too broad and granted without adequate review.”<\/p>\n
still, scientigo’s claim is sure to spark a lot of fretful discussion among the cognoscenti of xbrl, the extensible business reporting language.<\/p>\n
