Plug-ins patent owner suing MS for use of Plug-in Tech
Thisarticle provides some information about this lawsuit by Eolas. It looks like a slam dunk for Eolas. It definitely could cause a explosive ripple across browsers as we know it. Flash, Shockwave, ActiveX, anything that implements dynamic, bi-directional communications between an app embedded in a Web page and external applications. It should be happing in the spring of 04. The Eolas Technology CEO toys with the idea of levelling the playing field by holding back tech from MS IE. Interesting, indeed.
