Now wait a minute... if I remember correctly, the patent was established in 1991. That's 20 years of patent protection. That seems like an awful long time for patent protection, especially when dealing with rapid changing technology such as the Internet.

I think the standard patent protection for medicines is 7 years, could be wrong though.
