Foundation makes Microsoft FAT-Patent dubious
Since December 2003 Microsoft has demanded licence charges for "FAT" (a widely spread
file system which is used on flash-memory or on older Windows versions). It is possible
because the company has got a patent for this technology.
The Public Patent Foundation has requested at the US Patent Office to check this patent.
Obviously the Foundation thinks to prove that parts of the technology existed before
Microsoft implemented it.
