Scientigo is claiming that two of its patents <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1879988,00.asp">cover one of XML's fundamental principles</A> and is looking to benefit from XML's broad usage. Scientigo specifically claims that its two patents on a "method for modeling, storing and transferring data in neutral form" cover XML's basic idea of data storing data in a self-defining package, which enables it to be correctly displayed regardless of platform. Analysts, however, doubt the validity of Scientgo's patents.
