SBC Communications claims they own Patent on Internal links
Now this promises to either make a big fuzz, or a ridicule flop. Excerpt from the Museum Tour web site:
We received a 40 page package from SBC Intellectual Property today informing us that our web site which has links on the left side that go to other web pages within the site but does not lose the left side navigation links was in violation of their Structured Document Browser Patent.
Can I transfer the claim to Ben and Mena if I get a letter?

Good Guy
This is one of the worst/useless uses of the system that I have seen so far this year. I might as well create a patent for my unique online content management system or our ad server or the color of the sky at exactly 5 minutes before sundown. SBC; please spend your time on making this world a better place.
P.S. SBC: If museumtour.com ticked you off for whatever reason (like not paying a phone bill perhaps?), there are better ways to handle this situation.
