FlightAware > FlightAware Statement on FlightPrep Patent

"FlightPrep’s patent does not broadly cover all forms of flight planning using the Internet. Indeed the Patent Office Examiner considered prior art that showed flight planning using the Internet, both with and without waypoints. The scope of FlightPrep’s patent claims is thus narrower, and requires details that FlightAware does not do."
