System and Method for Monitoring Events on a Computer to Reduce False Positive Indication of Pestware

Open Text Inc.

A patent family: one line of work, grouped by real continuity rather than by a technology label inferred from titles. 2 of these applications claim priority to application 61/171,264, filed Apr 21, 2009. A shared origin can cover several different claimed inventions, which is why members here may not share a title. In-force patents first, soonest term end first, then patent number. Expired patents follow, in the same order.
