    LONDON - A court date was set Monday in the lawsuit brought by
    British Telecommunications PLC (BT) against U.S.-based Prodigy
    Communications Corp. for patent infringement through the ISP's
    (Internet service provider) unauthorized use of the hyperlink.

    Last year, BT said it had discovered that it holds U.S. patent
    4,873,662 for the invention of hyperlink technology used on the
    Internet, and on Dec. 13, 2000, the London-based telecommunication
    company filed suit in federal court in White Plains, New York.
