[802SEC] FW: [IP] SBC threatening to enforce 'frame' patent
I've only given this a quick read, but my first impression
is that it *might* impact our respective website designs ...
and maybe the IEEE's as well. (though I'm not sure and have
no clue if it will stand up ... just a "heads-up" for you all
to look at ...)
Regards,
Carl
