Gibber: It means NeoMedia and Mobile Tag can license one very specific method of indirect patents. Despite Barkume's insinuation that the patent office granted 89 claims for a big win over the EFF, at least 32 of the claims were modified and all of the claims were narrowed by the reexamination since every independent claim was modified. The result is the once broad patent only covers one very specific indirect method: scan the barcode and retrieve one line of data, the URL. While there are many ways to handle indirect, a second way to handle the indirect method is to return content to the user phone (instead of just the URL).
