http://lanny-on-learn-tech.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-rid-of-semester.html In the latest twist in the Blackboard patent case, the United States Patent and Trademark Office ( USPTO ) ruled all 44 of Blackboard’s course management system patents were "rejected," according to Desire2Learn . All 44 are now subject to reexamination. In response , Blackboard emphasized that this ruling is one step in a continuing process. This Office Action was expected and is the first step in a reexamination process that often takes years to complete. It has no effect on the validity of the patent, the lawsuit between Blackboard and Desire2Learn or the pending injunction against Desire2Learn.
