Limelight
July 12, 2007
Akamai sued Limelight last year for patent infringement. Om Malik thinks there’re OK for now:
Three weeks after Limelight Networks raised a whopping $240 million from the public markets, the content delivery network company got more good news: a court has said that Akamai could not patent the way files are delivered over the internet, thereby removing a big dark cloud from over Limelight.
The fool is inconclusive , and there’s more coverage here.
I think it sounds risky. I almost hit the buy button tonight. I’m sleeping over it. Maybe I can decide tomorrow.
