back on October of 2006 I wrote about the Blackboard and Desire2Learn patent dispute — Blackboard had gone after Desire2Learn in court over a copyright infringement. Blackboard is the largest provider of online learning management systems (LMSs) or online course management services (CMSs) and Desire2Learn is a similar company on a much smaller scale. a jury in Texas this past Friday gave the first step of the battle to Blackboard. this is more of an FYI since the article linked explains what happened beyond my headline. this is crummy, but D2L still has their patent pending, so there’s that.
