Patent breach

A word of caution to our fellow web developers and web business entrepreneurs. A lot of our websites in danger of being sued by Vuestar.

This company has recently acquired a patent on image linking. As such, we will not be able to employ this technique anymore.

ZDNet Asia has reported this news. A few companies in Singapore have received notifications regarding payment of usage of “locating webpages via visual image”. This may include, but not limited to, flash linking and silverlight linking.

Specifications may be downloaded at epatents.gov.sg.
