« Web 2.0 is Vulnerable to JavaScript Hijacking | Main | US Government Security Suggest "No AJAX" »
Slashdotted today, the USPTO granted Morfik a patent for the "System and method for synthesizing object-oriented high-level code into browser-side javascript". Reading further, it appears that they have patented the compiling of high-level languages into AJAX apps. The high-level languages include "Ada, C, C++, C#, COBOL, ColdFusion, Common Lisp, Delphi, Fortran, Java, Object Pascal, SmallTalk, Visual Basic, and Visual Basic.NET".

A couple of things: 1) Morfik had the patent process in the works before GWT, according to sources, as can be seen from the dates on the application 2) I want to personally apologize for screwing this up. I was responsible for the story on Slashdot, and I was wrong. Morfik has not been granted a patent. What was posted on the USPTO site was an APPLICATION, only I was ignorant 36 hours ago and didn't know the difference. Morfik's application is public now since apparently it's been accepted, assigned, and is being processed.
Sorry to create such a hubub since it isn't as final as I thought it was.
