Hell when you look at a simple animated GIF that can be construed as streaming video as well. AND there is a Patent on the GIF format though it is not enforced.


Java and push-jpeg was around well after the patent filing date, so it wouldn't be considered prior art.

You are on the right track about animated GIF files.. If someone used digitized photos and put them in a loop, it could be prior art if it was downloaded from a BBS prior to 1990 (still looking for that example actually)

Acacia's latest licensing structure is 4% of gross, not 2% (i just read the new updated agreement), along with an adminstration fee that increases each month.
