P3P will allow Web sites to notify users of the site's privacy
practices and will provide users with greater control over the use of their
personal information on the Web.
The use of P3P-compliant technologies was halted when the original patent
holder sought to charge royalties for products or services that utilize the
P3P specification. The technology was originally developed in an open,
collaborative process by a number of W3C members.
Intermind's patent claims the rights to certain
techniques of controlling the interactions between clients and servers,
especially in regards to the exchange of personal information. Since much
of the Internet is based on such technologies, Intermind's claim of
proprietary rights could have had a repressive effect on many Web
developers' plans for P3P deployment.
