The industry has been closely monitoring the Tafas v. Doll (formerly Tafas v. Dudas) lawsuit over whether the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office would be able to make rule changes that would significantly limit patent applications. Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) announced its ruling, and the net result won't leave any of the interested parties in unqualified cheer. That is because a split court agreed that the USPTO had the necessary authority to impose the rules, but that one was in conflict with existing patent law and that a lower court needed to review whether the drafting and review process had been proper.

Whether or not IBM and Sun actually hit the altar is immaterial. A new wave of M&A mania is likely to start. But most of it is going to be desperation and futility.
IBM, said to be in talks to acquire Sun Microsystems, is showing that it will not be left behind in the battle for control of the data center, which is fast becoming the center of the IT universe. And it's becoming equally clear that the Armageddon in the data center will be winner-take-all. ...
There are many reasons why IBM would be interested in purchasing Sun. But one of the biggest is the color of money. When you go through the numbers, a Sun deal would not only be lucrative, but dirt cheap.
Today's Wall Street Journal story about acquisition talks between IBM and Sun may be surprising because of its suddenness. But on another, this is just another of the shakeups that will be happening because of underlying conditions in the tech industry. The result will be new alliances, former partners turning on each other, and uncertainty for vendors and buyers alike.
