Bizarre Chapter in Blackboard, Inc. v Desire2Learn

Posted on October 26, 2008 by Michael Feldstein

There’s a really…um…weird story posted up on D2L’s patent blog about how the court allowed Blackboard to send somebody to poke around D2L’s conference. D2L knew about it, but it was supposed to be kept secret from the conference attendees.

Very strange.

    Thanks for the heads-up, Anol. I’m aware that there have been intermittent problems with the feed that seem to be web host-related. (Specifically, the database server appears to be flaky at the moment.) Sorry about that.
