At the request of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will reexamine a controversial patent for online test-taking from Test.com.
EFF filed the reexamination request because the extremely broad patent claims to cover almost all methods of online testing. Test.com has used this patent to demand payments from universities with distance education programs that give tests online. But EFF, in conjunction with Theodore C. McCullough of the Lemaire Patent Law Firm, showed that Test.com was not the first to come up with this testing method — IntraLearn Software Corporation had been marketing an online test-taking system long before Test.com filed its patent request.”
