Patent Roadblocks to Web Services. "IBM and Microsoft not only own intellectual property within specific Web services protocols, but also have no intentions of relinquishing their IP rights to those protocols should they become standards. [...The] two companies are currently maintaining their rights to pursue a reasonable and non-discriminatory (RAND) licensing framework as opposed to a royalty-free-based framework.

This is serious stuff that could substantially derail web services. [Source: Doc Searls]
