Is it safe to use paxos protocol in LWT from patent perspective ?

[Hiroyuki Yamada <mo...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it is safe to use paxos protocol in LWT from patent
perspective.
I found some paxos-related patents here.

Does anyone know about this ?

Best regards,
Hiroyuki

Hi Hiroyuki,


That's an interesting question, it looks like Paxos was invented in 1989:

So "prior art" could discard such patent claim.
