It seems that Blackboard has patented LMS (Learning Management System)

If you do not use Blackboard, well you can check their Patent FAQ:

My institution doesn’t use a Blackboard system but uses a competitor’s course management system. How are we affected?
Evaluating patents can be complex and because we don’t know the specifics of how your system works, we would encourage you to consult with your CMS provider for answers.

You can check for more information on the site Boycott Blackboard.

Well, this is really insane! Let’s patent Education?
