Wonder if Acacia will take on the big boy.

My new years prediction for 2004, Acacia will go down like its stock is now.

Personally if we have to license (which I will never do) then I feel that newsgroups should have to license to, aren't they promoting video downlaods in a round about way and violating the patent too?

I guess Acacia will be gone within the next 3 months, because the got to much publicty right now by sueing officals

I wonder if they are stupid enough to sue the government and hurt the war on terror. Would that make Acacia enemy combatants?

Imagine Rob Berman in a military prison in Cuba.

Picture from the next Acacia board meeting?

How the hell did they get a patent clerk to approve this...

Acacia:
We would like to patent the transmission of video over a network.

Clerk:
Paperwork looks in order and the fee is paid. Except....

Acacia (interrupting):
Oh, its attached to the back page of the application.

Clerk (Detaching a check from the back page):
Oh, let me see. Yes here it is.

Acacia:
That is enough right?

Clerk (Putting check in his personal wallet):
Yes, this will be plenty. Approved.

Acacia:
Nice doing business with you. Hey how much is the rate to patent the reading of messages stored on network for later retrival?

Clerk:
Hmm, that may cost a little bit more. $15,000?

NASA uses video on their website and they transmit audio and graphics in real time or less then real time.

What about NASA - Acacia?
