Help! DBD/DBIx::Chart need patent protection
Someone has just alerted me to the following patent attempt by our friends at IBM:
Data Plotting Extension for Structured Query Language
Given that DBD::Chart predates the filing by at least 7 years (in fact, you can still get a version from CPAN from 2002, and I think BackPAN may have stuff from 2000/2001), I'd like to make sure this thing gets killed. Does anyone know an open source patent holding group, or someplace I can submit prior art claims ?
