	OpenID and Patent... ? by Snorri :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Hello, I was yesterday in meeting with an important European TELCO interested in the next months to test OpenID (OP and RP) directly on the mobile phone. This is very exciting… But they questioned me about one “OpenID Patent”, I was very surprised! In fact it was a confusion with this patent: http://news.openideurope.eu/us20040205243_0_959_A1.pdf I appreciate to read your technical opinion (maybe David?) about the similarities with OpenID… Thank you -Snorri _______________________________________________ general mailing list general@... http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/general

If you're looking to contact (either of) the inventors personally, O'Reilly Media has a page on Nikolaj Nyholm: http://radar.oreilly.com/nikolaj/ This one looks promising because identity is mentioned. I also found a LinkedIn page for one "Hans Hurvig", but other than the location (Copenhagen) there's nothing to show that he's related to the Hans who copatented an identity technology. -Shade _______________________________________________ general mailing list general@... http://openid.net/mailman/listinfo/general
