What does Google's patent on web based translation mean for WordLens?

  • Google got the patent for web-based translation (http://gigaom.com/2011/01/25/google-grabs-patent-for-web-based-translation/). Does this mean that WordLens needs to pay them a licensing fee?

  • Answer:

    I am not an attorney but I read the patent and conclude that WordLens is not infringing on Google's IP in any way. Google's patent is for the tooltip that shows the original vs. the translation. WordLens does not even display original and translation at the same time, which is what Google's patent is for.
