Craigslist’s hacking, copyright claims against rival PadMapper hold up
feedproxy.google.com
on 04/30/2013
Excerpt: Summary: Companies want to use Craigslist’s large pool of user-generated classified ads to create new services. Are they innovators or criminals? A California court ruling will help determine that. A federal court has sided with Craigslist in the early stages of a bitter dispute over whether upstart data and apartment listing sites can draw on information posted by the classified giant to offer rival services. In a ruling handed down Monday in San Francisco, US District Judge Charles Breyer refused the request of PadMapper, 3 Taps and other defendants to throw out a laundry list of claims by Craigslist, which is accusing the defendants of hacking, copyright infringement and more.... read the full post.

Data protection law is in danger of lagging behind technological change
www.guardian.co.uk
on 04/12/2013
Excerpt: Data processing practices are evolving faster than the law can adapt to them, according to a senior British lawyer at an international law firm specialising in data protection. Ask a lawyer and a database administrator for their definitions of "delete" or "anonymise" and you will quickly realise the size of the task facing legislators around the world as they seek to define and prevent irresponsible and outright criminal uses of data in 2013. Speaking to the Guardian, Bridget Treacy, leader of UK Privacy and Information Management practice at law firm Hunton & Williams stated her belief that legislation will always be playing catch up to technology in this area, adding "that's just the way it is".... read the full post.

Judge Says Mathematical Algorithms Can’t Be Patented, Dismisses Uniloc Claim Against Rackspace
techcrunch.com
on 03/28/2013
Excerpt: A federal judge has thrown out a patent claim against Rackspace, ruling that mathematical algorithms can’t be patented. The ruling in the Eastern Disrict stemmed from a 2012 complaint filed by Uniloc USA asserting that processing of floating point numbers by the Linux operating system was a patent violation. Chief Judge Leonard Davis based the ruling on U. S. Supreme Court case law that prohibits the patenting of mathematical algorithms. According to Rackspace, this is the first reported instance in which the Eastern District of Texas has granted an early motion to dismiss finding a patent invalid because it claimed unpatentable subject matter. Red Hat, which supplies Linux to Rackspace, provided Rackspace’s defense.... read the full post.

Twitter gets a patent on... Twitter | The Verge

on 03/19/2013
Excerpt: Although Twitter famously has a pending patent on the familiar "pull-to-refresh" gesture, the company may have just acquired something more valuable: a patent on the Twitter messaging service itself. The new patent issued today with Twitter founders Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone listed as inventors, and broadly describes a messaging service in which users follow each other and sent messages don't have specific recipients, but are rather sent and displayed to those followers by the system itself. That's exactly how Twitter works, of course — it's definitely more of a broadcasting system than a direct messaging service, and the patent claims explicitly make reference to "broadcasting an update message" several times.... read the full post.
