I need help with Research to Invalidate a Patent. What this means is I need to locate specific Articles, Conference Papers, White Papers, etc. that describe the Idea of the Patent, but PRE-DATE the Patent. If you Find 2 Articles that are on Target, I can pay more to find more articles The Patent I need to Invalidate is Patent # 6,321,254. It is a Broad Patent so I expect you will be able to find "Prior Art" that describes their invention. Basically, we need Articles, Web Sites, White Papers, Conference Papers that Pre-Date the 254 Patent. The Date the Papers have to be published before is May, 1996. The Summary of what we need is some Prior Art that describes a Web/Internet Backup and Remote Access Solution, with a Password. The Summary of their "Invention" is A Method and interface for a centralized archiving and de-archiving system Abstract An arrangement for filing and retrieving data of a plurality of mutually remote data sources which are connected to a remote central file-storage system by a public, wide-area transmission network. Mutually separable storage fields are maintained in the central file-storage system by allocating separate storage fields to the data of each of the remote data sources by a user filter coupled to the file storage system to ensure that every user can transfer in the central file system only in his field. An access authorization code transmitted from a remote data source is compared to an access code stored in the file-storage system to permit access by a remote data source to the separate storage fields allocated to the data source seeking access. |

I find it interesting that this patent is essentially the same as what a server does, anyway. The only difference seems to be that it's over a public network instead of a private network. IANAL, but a network is a network, and the distinction between public and private shouldn't be the whole basis for this claim. In fact, ANYONE who has left a server without VPN or firewall directly on the Internet has done this. I seem to be able to retrieve information from BBS's a while back as well, FidoNet, etc. The information was freely available, as long as you logged into the BBS. Some Sysops did have storage for certain people, and I'm certain Sysops had their files stored in abundance of places, providing their authorization code/password from their computer to the remote... This isn't enough, I know. But maybe it's a bit of help to a researcher? |

Setup an FTP Account in Windows NT server Write a batch file to transfer files using FTP Use windows AT scheduler to schedule the above batch file How is this any different from the patent above. FTP , batch file, AT scheduler existed much prior to this patent... My 2 cents... |
