SitePoint: Did Google Just Patent Gears? Why? http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-112679/sitepoint:did-google-just-patent-gears-why Posts in the discussion thread "SitePoint: Did Google Just Patent Gears? Why?" - A recently published patent application for a “system that facilitates using a web-based client-server application offline” sounds a lot like Google’s Gears project. The patent was filed by Erik Arvidsson, who blog posts reveal is an engineer on the Gears team, and by Andrew Palay, who listed Computer Scientist at Google as his occupation when donating the Barack Obama campaign earlier this year. So the evidence would suggest that this is indeed a patent application from Google concerning Gears.
