Interesting article on Michael Doyle, who has a patent pending on 
``applets'' and could extract licensing fees from Sun, Netscape, and 
other Internet players..

http://www.sjmercury.com/business/net325a.htm

A tantalizing quote from article:

``Of course it could cause us difficulty if it were valid and 
enforceable,'' said Lee Patch, vice president at Sun. ''But it has to 
be an awfully pioneering patent to justify the kind of breadth Doyle 
is claiming. Is Doyle another Thomas Edison?''
