This is not novel. This is not innovative. It is a relatively obvious method for dynamic code loading over the web that any intermediate programmer could have arrived at independently.

It's also not a patent. It's a patent application.

As a patent attorney, I can assure you that this is not true.

No one could argue that the patent office never lets through a patent that claims obvious subject matter. Mistakes get made, and bullshit patents issue.
In general though, the examiners I have dealt with are more likely to advance bullshit rejections than issue bullshit patents.
