From Wired Magazine:
The butler did it : Two MIT professors are suing Ask Jeeves, the online search service, claiming that the site rips off two patents they hold in natural language question-and-answer technology.

Patrick Winston and Boris Katz filed suit in US District Court in Boston, asking the court to stop Ask Jeeves from using or passing along the technology, and seeking damages for royalties they said they should have received.

Ask Jeeves had no answer for this dilemma. There was no comment from company officials.
