This is interesting information. I am hoping that someone could either
confirm or deny that the Divine company is actually doing this. What I mean
is that we have heard from one person who says an attorney representing
divine has contacted them. Is there any chance that this is just a
hoax? Not by the person who posted the message, but instead by someone
looking to play a cruel joke on some small companies based on the patents
held by divine.
I guess I am wondering if anyone has a media citation about divine trying
to enforce these patents.
The reason I am so interested, is that I was schedule to make a call this
week to divine to order their TrueLook product (I have been talking with
them for weeks). It is not cheap, but we really like it (it is tens of
thousands of dollars) and are in the process of firming up partnerships
with others who are interested in using a TrueLook installation at our
location.
If it is in fact true that divine is taking this action I would like to
know, because I would not want to deal with them on the TrueLook product.
