One week ago Mark Zuckerberg, the famed founder of Facebook.com, received U.S. Patent No. 8,225,376 titled
“Dynamically generating a privacy summary.” The patent relates to a
system and method that automatically generates a privacy summary. In
the method according to one particular implementation of the invention, a
profile for a user is generated, one or more privacy setting selections
are received from the user, and the profile associated with the user is
updated to incorporate the privacy setting selections. A privacy
summary is then generated for the profile based on the privacy setting
selections.
Although this is not the first patent awarded to Zuckerberg, who now has 10 issued U.S. patents, this patent is noteworthy because it relates to the the first patent application filed by Zuckerberg, which was filed almost six years ago, on July 25, 2006. According to the Issue Notification, the patent is entitled to Patent Term Adjustment of 1258 days.
