Stop the Balthaser Patent - 180
I support this petition.
This is another example of people using patent law, not to protect their own work, but simply make a buck off of someone else.
The idea of create application, be they rich media or otherwise, via the web is as old as the web itself. The abilities to create and modify assets and access accounts and statistics is the very nature of computing. As such, the patent does not cover a non obvious solution especially since the assets being created are themselves products of another company.
This patent is nonsense and should be reversed.
