Russell Poulin sent this enormously useful post to the DEOS-L mailing list regarding the Acacia patent claim. As another reader notes, "Acacia has targeted distance education for courses that use streaming or downloadable audio and/or video." Poulin responds that "WCET has been collecting information related to the Acacia patent issue and sharing it." What follows is a detailed set of links and resources. Note well: "It may behoove colleges NOT to sign license agreements at this time. Though Acacia's patents may be ruled invalid (and the results of the recent Markman hearings defining the terms of the patents seem to indicate a trend in that direction), those who have signed contracts with Acacia will still be legally obligated to pay licensing fees."
