问题描述
如果W3C创建了XML标准，他们是否申请了专利？
我在W3C网站上唯一能找到的就是他们自由的政策
许可与标准相关的任何专利技术。
我知道所有关于微软试图为你使用XML文件做的每一件可能的事情申请专利。我真的不想在那个切线上走了。
现在，我只想弄清楚XML上是否有专利
标准本身如果有的话，谁拥有它。
XML（概念，即标准）既不是软件也不是硬件，而且据我所知它是b $ b因此它不具有可专利性。我知道不会停止美国邮政允许有人为其申请专利，但是当我们来到它时，我们将跨越那座桥。

XML FAQ：
开放文档格式标准既不是软件也不是硬件，而且b $ b有专利。戴尔的业务流程也是如此。没有要求
某些东西是软件或硬件才能获得专利。
我不是在寻找关于是否有论据或猜测它在逻辑上
应该或不应该拥有专利。我只是想知道是否有人知道
确定它是否有专利。
谢谢。
Open Document Format标准既不是软件也不是硬件，而且它是b / b
有专利。戴尔的业务流程也是如此。没有要求
某些东西是软件或硬件才能获得专利。
对不起，我的错：当我阅读帖子时，我只是做了软件专利的其他事情
，我的意思是XML不是作为一件
软件获得专利。你可以在美国申请任何你喜欢的专利，无论是否有意义，无论是b $ b。也可以使用专利
防御，以防止其他人不那么谨慎地申请专利而不是他们的b $ b。
我从来没有听说过一个，但在目前情况下我不认为
任何人都有能力证明它确实有或没有专利。

If the W3C created the XML standard, did they apply for a patent on it?
The only thing I can find on the W3C site is their policy about freely
licensing any patented technology related to a standard.
I know all about Microsoft trying to patent every possible thing you
could do with an XML file. I don''t really want to go off on that tangent.
Right now, I am just trying to figure out if there is a patent on the XML
standard itself and, if so, who owns it.
XML (the concept, ie the standard) is neither software nor hardware, and
as far as I know it is therefore not patentable. I know that won''t stop
the USPO allowing someone to patent it, but we''ll cross that bridge when
we come to it.

The Open Document Format standard is neither software or hardware and it
has a patent. So does Dell''s business process. There is no requirement
that something be software or hardware for there to be a patent.
I''m not looking for arguments or speculation as to whether it logically
should or should not have a patent. I just want to know if anyone knows
for sure whether it does or does not have a patent.
Thank you.

Sorry, my fault: I was just doing something else with software patents
when I read the post, and I meant XML is not patentable as a piece of
software. You can indeed patent anything you like in the USA, regardless
of whether it makes sense to or not. Patents can also be used
defensively, to prevent others less scrupulous from patenting ideas not
theirs.
I''ve never heard of one, but in the current circumstances I don''t think
anyone is in a position to certify that it does or does not have a patent.
