 | View Full Version : Can cPanel / Plesk / DirectAdmin be patented? wheimeng 10-27-2006, 05:57 AM Hello guys ;) I'm sorta interested in knowing the patent rights. Is it possible that cPanel / Plesk / DA file for patency for their product (control panel)? ihostdev 10-28-2006, 12:47 AM if i am not mistaken someone already hold the patent on control panels and there is a lawsuite somewhere i seen on this subject. speckl 10-28-2006, 12:11 PM Wouldn't copyright laws cover that since everything is code? mirage001 10-28-2006, 05:20 PM NO,you cannot.they are absolutely different bwb 10-28-2006, 05:21 PM Wouldn't copyright laws cover that since everything is code? Its sad to say but I think at this point lawyers/money determine what that covers more then anything currently on the books. Who can keep the case alive and drain the others cost the longest etc is a common tactic. hostechsupport 11-01-2006, 05:01 PM Hello, Don't know regarding directadmin. Cpanel and Plesk have their own patents, since there are major and widely used control panels. You need to contact them and get the details of their patency. Thank you. Regards, |
