Yet another reason software patents are STUPID 2007-03-19 09:37:02 - By: Dan

Someone patented a linked list implementation. One of the most basic building blocks of organizing and accessing lists of data in a program and someone got a patent on one method in 2006. Why people feel the need to file software patents for blindingly obvious and basic things like this is beyond me. I want to see these people try to enforce this. Linked List - United States Patent 7028023.

Via Slashdot: Linked List Patented in 2006.
