In the US a far stretching patent has been granted. Uploading digital content or “Web-based Media Submission” was patented by AdMission, the company behind techniques used by eBay and The Washington Post, amongst others. So I guess companies like PBase will have a hard time surviving, since they have similar software in use. How can a company patent such a thing, when there is enough “prior art”? Uploading pictures, resizing or creating thumbnails can’t be their “invention”?!
