Acacia VS. Prior Art
 

Post your examples of possible prior art & it's usage.

do a search, there's at least one other lengthy thread about this already

Atari, who are you? You seem to have made your first appearance today and expect people to post all possible evidence in a public forum so acacia can see it and prepare a defense against it in advance.

Anything I find for one, will be sent directly to spike.

I don't want to stop the exchange of ideas on the chatboard because they spark the creative juices, but just realize that people who do not share our interests may be reading what you write. If you have any specific information or leads that you think would be particularly helpful, please contact Spike directly.

True... Didn't know this was a big deal since there was already a different forum about it earlier.

My view on it is the prior art is out there in many forms, I don't see how they can stop the truth from biting them on the ass.

But I guess if Acacia has enough of a warning ahead of time they can convince a judge that an Apple is an orange all day long.

exactly my point :)

As far as your inqusition goes... click search.

It's pretty clear which side of the line I am on.

Yup yup... already have done some digging myself and sent off an email to Spike with what I found. Hopefully it will help.

[probably better to not post any clues for them at all then]

There are simply bussloads of software packages emerging around 1985 involving animated video much of it is released as shareware or freeware under gnu license.

On top of the MANY animation packages there are also a myriad of presentation packages who also created their own movie and slideshow formats.

They lay claim to using compression to reduce the size of movies and I know that's a joke because I have a working CGA movie from 1986 using the Huffman compression algorithm.

No more talky talky.

Send the movie to spike & sign an affidavit.
