Linked list patent
-
How can they issue patents for this sort of thing. Going by the date, linked lists must have been used well before this was submitted.

I don't agree this should be patentable This is not for 'the' linked list but for 'a type of' linked list. Read the abstract:
A computerized list is provided with auxiliary pointers for traversing the list in different sequencesMe thinks that be the point here.

But it seemed to me as a different approach to Linked Lists that enables the user to sort the inside data with multiple sequences in a single list. I don't know if it is appropriate to patent this one, but I like the idea quite a bit. ;)
Always keep the Murphy Rules in mind!

I'm still waiting the approval for my patents on the "+" sign and the digit "0".

So, they go left to right instead of up and down? I'm off to patent a car that can drive sideways, before someone here gets the same idea :thumbsup:
I are troll :)

It's not up/down OR left/right, but up/down AND left/right. A normal linked list has a set of pointers that can be traversed along a single route. The Google Super-Duper Double-Pointer Linked List [tm] has not one but two sets of pointers. It's amazing! It means that rather then having to add each object to two linked lists, you can add it to one.

Not only was I using linked lists before the earliest date mentioned , I was reading about them in many a programming book . This is simply nonsense

Fortunately, recent court cases and USPTO rulings means this patent is invalid. Unfortunately, it's going to take a while for the system to flush these kinds of patents out.
