message: The section on the patent needs to be expanded as it's currently somewhat unclear exactly the patent describes and perhaps more importantly parts of it are downright confusing. For example, it says found that Viola does 'not teach nor fairly suggest that instant 906 invention, as claimed' but what the heck is the instant 906 invention? My suggestion would be (all sourced obviously) a brief description of the patent, a brief description of the what it has been ruled to cover and a brief explaination of what is the innovation vis-a-vis the Viola browser that the patent office currently believes exists. For reference, this is the version I'm referring to  Nil Einne 10:02, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

The sentence added at the end of the lede is not a fair depiction of what actually transpired in the courtroom.  MaxEnt (talk) 01:01, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pro Eolas edits by anon 

message: It's an informative and great article; I have no doubt that all of this is historically accurate as a matter of interest but it cites only one source, and that's a Microsoft source. I think that some of those "External Links" might be movable to the "References" bit in order to make up for it. As a combination of being on my way out the door and not being bold enough, however, I won't touch it. Of course, if I'm barking up the wrong tree, that's fine too :-) 125.236.211.165 (talk) 22:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed the following lines from the article, in light of the fact that the second contradicts claims that characterize Eolas as a patent troll:
Eolas itself never made a popular web-browser product utilizing its patent, which led many to use it as an example of a patent troll. Nevertheless, Eolas did release a historically-significant version of its browser, called WebRouser, for noncommercial use in 1995.I've erred on the side of caution here; I'm sure the term has been thrown at Eolas before, but in light of no references provided, I removed the statement. If anyone wants to work it back into the article, that's fine, but labelling it outright as behavior from a patent troll is wrong, since the company did introduce a product incorporating the patented claims (almost immediately), and popularity of software doesn't fit into anyone's required criteria for non-trollish behavior, as far as I know. -- C.

message: According to Wired, a jury found the patents to be invalid. That seems to be important information.
