1.1 The Harm of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a disaster waiting to happen. First, the WAP protocols are booby-trapped with patents. Patent infringement claims have already been made by the holders of the following two patents, and more claims can almost certainly be expected in the future:
-
U.S. Patent # 5,327,529 - Geoworks, Berkeley,
Calif.. Process of designing user’s interfaces for
application programs.
Local Copies: (PDF) (PS) - U.S. Patent # 5,809,415 - Unwired Planet, Inc., Redwood
Shores, Calif.. Method and architecture for an interactive
two-way data communication network.
Local Copies: (PDF-Part 1) (PDF-Part 2) (PS-Part 1) (PS-Part 2)
