Subject: [Patents] CGMI/Altavista plans to crack down on web searching

You find the case documented now with references to a number of
patents, including european ones, at

        http://swpat.ffii.org/vreji/pikta/xrani/altavista/

Unfortunately we got the EP references only by chance and were not
able to check through whether they have been granted, because, as you
know, the European Patent Office's patent data server ep.espacenet.com
has been broken during the last few days.
