'Test Central' responds to EFF charges - p2pnet.net News
One of the firms targetted in the EFF's 10 Most Wanted Patents campaign is Test Central. Its "Overbroad patent threatens to chill market for distance learning, online books that include tests, online certification tests, and software testing done via the Internet," says the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) here, going on that Test Central claims it should receive licensing fees from companies or individuals who administer tests on the Net. It's also approached universities including Regis University and University of Tulsa, and "Company reps have told the press that Test.com wants to license or sell its patent to a large company who can wrestle more licensing fees out of groups who do online testing," says the EFF.
