AOL granted patent for instant messaging technology

Technically, the patent is for ICQ.  However, as Fett1011 has already stated, AOL bought ICQ, so the patent is theirs, as far as I can tell.

Well, ICQ existed prior to 1993, and apparently that means that their patent goes back to that time (I'm not sure, I'm not a lawyer).
