Implicit Networks Accuses Windows Seven of Infringement

If it wasn't any good, no one would be accusing it of infringement, right?  Unwelcome flattery of this nature was thrust upon Microsoft and its successful Windows Seven product last week when a patent infringement case was brought by local patent licensing company, Implicit Networks.

Implicit owns US 6,629,163, Method and System for Demultiplexing a First Sequence of Packet Components to Identify Specific Components Wherein Subsequent Components are Processed without Re-Identifying Components.  According to the complaint, this technology is used in Microsoft's Windows Seven "Filtering Platform."
