GTT to sell Object Orientation Programming Patent Portfolio

Global Technology Transfer Group, Inc., (GTT), a leader in patent asset management services, has announced the availability of a patent portfolio relating to mainstream object oriented programming languages, development platforms for such languages, modern web browsers and web servers. Object oriented programming is widely used today, both in desktop and Internet applications.

The patents in the Object Oriented Programming portfolio broadly apply to object oriented languages, development platforms, and applications. Specifically, the patents cover the process of interpreting code such that objects are kept separate from the steps of the execution process. This is a core characteristic of how modern script-based object oriented languages function. As such, the patents have very wide applicability. The claims of the patents also apply beyond websites and development tools, as object oriented languages are widely used elsewhere. Some engineering simulation packages, for example, also use script-based object oriented code and may fall within the scope of the claims. Source
