Imagine if one company held the right to collect a fee each time an Internet user clicked on a Web site link and jumped to another Web page.
iSay - What are they thinking? This may be a calculated risk they are willing to take. The company must be in financial need because this appears to be an act of desparation. Unfortunatly for them it is doomed to fail because of the plethora of prior art which will diminish BT's position and ultimatly show that BT should not own hyperlinking. Also I think this suit is incredibly bad public relations for BT. This is just starting to play out in the media. If I were running BT I would call off the suit immediatly to cut my losses.
