US company holds exclusive rights to JPGs

In Archive by Fredy Ore

Visiting Zeldman.com I came across this article of a US company holding the exclusive rights to the use of JPGs. Their rights are currently applied to client only (recieving) the JPG format, eg. browsers, pda, mobile, etc. not the broadcast rights or transmission of the JPG format, although they are pursuing the acquisition of broadcast rights also. ::: www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/26272.html
