Should I be worried about Apple’s podcasting patent?

Posted on by

Apple have been awarded their podcasting patent on “Techniques and systems for supporting podcasting”

Pretty sure there’s a bundle of prior art here (Kevin?), but I’m looking at this with a cold chill. I’m not a patent lawyer, but it looks to me that Apple have walked up to the very big podcasting table, opened their jacket enough for everyone to see them carrying an AK-47 Assault Rifle, and have sat down with an innocent smile on their face.

I’m waiting for the other foot to drop on this one…

Update: Kevin points out, via Twitter, his prior art late in 2005.
