W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent.

This specification has been discontinued. The CSS Working Group did not find enough implementations and at this point no further work is planned.

Table of contents

1. Summary

The “marquee” effect is a method of handling overflow in CSS. It tells the user agent to slowly move the contents of a box back and forth so that, over time, all of the contents is visible at least once. It can replace a scroll bar or other scrolling mechanism and requires no user interaction.

Development of the marquee features of CSS has been abandoned. See the previous-version link above for a description of the earlier proposals.

Note that a somewhat similar effect of moving text can be achieved with generic CSS animations [CSS3-ANIMATIONS].
