However, and without having analyzed the claim in detail, I believe most chat clients have supported multiple simultaneously running instances on different devices for a long time. Complete with automatic updates and display of message histories. You can probably read a 1990s-era newsgroup reader onto most of the claim. The difference then would at best be push notifications vs. fixed-interval polling - barely an argument for non-obviousness. I am afraid none of this will stop the USPTO, and of course, this is Captain Hindsight speaking, so... | |
