The "LZW" compression algorithm was originally developed by Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv, subsequently improved by Terry Welch See "A Technique for High-Performance Data Compression", Computer (June 1984), pp. 8-19., and patented by Sperry Corporation (later Unisys Corporation) as U.S. Patent Number 4,464,650 See <http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?patentnumber=4,464,650>.. This patent expired on June 20, 2003 See <http://compression-links.info/Link/1264_LZW_Patent_Expiration.htm> and See <http://compression-links.info/Link/1814_LZW_Patent_Expiration.htm>.. Therefore implementations of LZW are no longer patent-encumbered.
