No es tan grave como describen esos títulos. Si es grave desde el punto de vista de lo que hicieron, tanto el que tiene la patente como el que se la concedió, pero esa patente no afecta directamente a ninguno de nosotros.

De todas formas, en la fuente original esta correctamente explicado:
Cita: How broad is the patent? Here's what the patent abstract says it covers: A host computer, containing processes for creating rich-media applications, is accessed from a remote user computer system via an Internet connection. User account information and rich-media component specifications are uploaded over the Internet for a specific user account. Rich-media applications are created, deleted, or modified in a user account, with rich-media components added to, modified in, or deleted from the rich-media application based on information contained in a user request. After creation, the rich-media application is viewed or saved on the host computer system, or downloaded to the user computer system over the Internet.
Uno no deja de sorprenderse en este planeta.
Saludos.
