[Battlemesh] Fritz!box AVM

[Benjamin Henrion]

Hi,

Just spotted this article about a german router manufacturer AVM,
which is selling the popular Fritz!box:

"The first is AVM, a mid-size German consumer electronics and IT
network firm. It battled with a Panama-based PAE called Dragon Green
Development Balboa for over a decade.
It won on final appeal but was left having to pay legal and court fees
because Dragon Green used a British shell company with no assets apart
from its patents to launch the attack. Shortly after the final appeal
ruling the shell company was liquidated."

Best,

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."
