So I'm looking through the SalesForce lawsuit against Microsoft http://regmedia.co.uk/2010/06/25/salesforce_v_microsoft_complaint.pdf[^] and I decided to read the patents in question. With theses patents salesforce could potentially sue almost any .NET application development company. How is this even legit? Error Handling - http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=9qQVAAAAEBAJ&dq=6918059[^] ASP.NET Caching - http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=syMSAAAAEBAJ&dq=6813633[^] Postback?! - http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=04d4AAAAEBAJ&dq=7024454[^] It's absolutely ridiculous.
