Wait what? I don't get it. I thought that linking through an image just consisted of basic html tagging via an img tag nested in the url tag.... which is free last time I checked....
-
My web page uses visual images am I the only one paying the Licence?
No. You are required to have a License, as is your Internet Service provider, your Telco whose phones connected to the web and anybody else contributing to the use of the patent. All search engine portals and web sites that have search facilities and images will require separate Licenses.
ZOMG! Quick switch to non-visual images!

Where do I find the Patent(s)?
The Republic of Singapore Patent No. 95940 is registered at IPOS from Year 2003, its application/grant date. See IPOS website. Other VUESTAR Patents are registered in Australia, New Zealand and USA.
Notice that the patent is registered in the Republic of Singapore. Then it mentions that OTHER VUESTAR Patents are registered in Australia, New Zealand, and USA.

Oh wait wait wait....
*In what jurisdiction is this Licence applicable?
The Republic of Singapore.
That explains it somewhat.
(bah petch posted before me)
-
Oh that's right...
In order for the patent to stand in the US, it needed to be applied for and granted in the US. So even if that does stand, it wouldn't apply to us, so eff them.

I really only skimmed it, but from what I saw it looks like this only applies to search engines?
-
It reads like that. It doesn't say anything about using HTML to directly link to a website. If that were the case, the developers of HTML already would have rights to it as I believe HTML was developed before this patent.

Just to make sure I don't do anything with pictures anymore, I'm posting this message using lynx.
