Re: [Digital BW] MacroMedia sues Adobe over Photoshop

2001-10-21 by Tim Spragens

Can't make enough money in the market, try to make it in the courts? What could be patented by 
Macromedia in '98, liquify? I wonder if anyone bought, or updated, Pshop because of that? 
Anyone see anything else that's been added since '98 that might be the offending part? This 
article can't be accurate: "claiming it owns the patent".
