Patent free ["GIFs"] are possible... so long as you don't use compression (which makes them fairly pointless)
PNG can replace GIF, i've seen some IE troubles does carefully specifying MIME types resolve this?

["JPEG2000"] ?
Internet Eplorer STILL does not render transparent ["PNGs"] properly

PNG, however, uses the same algorithm that gzip does. It's an unencumbered format for lossless compression, and the browser support for the basic features is already there! People complain about how the PNG support in old ["IEs"] and suchforth isn't very good, but they're usually talking about the features of PNG that GIF doesn't have. PNG files tend to be smaller than their GIF counterparts, and they even support alpha channels! (from http://www.gnuheter.com/article.php?sid=1673)
possible alternative to jpg: http://djvu.sourceforge.net/ no guarantees though, i've never heard of this before.
oooh JPEG committee are gunna find prior art: http://www.jpeg.org/newsrel1.htm
