Anti-Cheat Patent

[Yourself4]

I was searching through google patents and I found this:

 

http://www.google.com/patents?id=AMN-AAAAE...log+game+server

 

I also noticed the Effective Date on it:

 

Issue date: Jan 30, 2007

 

I think its kind of funny that some guy beat Valve, Even Balance, and all the other AC companies to the punch. I wonder what will come out of this once the patent becomes effective tomarrow.

Maybe you should remember that the current year is 2008 not 2007.

hmmm date is relevant how??

oh yeah all ac sites have been using his patent for 1 year :P

if it is legal then i wouldnt be making too much noise about it tbh and hope he has forgoten about it too

i dont know if it is legal or not but all i say is if you like me dont know then dont draw attention to this 6 year old aplication and hope the guy has moved on, as it could cost ac sites a lot of money if his patent is legal and being infringed :P:p

Punkbuster was integrated into Wolfenstein at least 6 months before the filing date.
