6/23/00 - BT Claims Hyperlink Patent

Jun. 23, 2000 (InformationWeek - CMP via COMTEX) -- British Telecommunications has issued a broad
intellectual property claim over hyperlinking technology. The company says it holds the U.S. patent on
hyperlinking technology, which it filed for in 1976 and was granted 13 years later. The
telecommunications company says it may demand licensing fees from Internet service providers and
other companies using hyperlinking technology in the United States. British Telecommunications hired
Scipher plc, a British technology development and licensing company, to seek out license fees from
technology vendors.
