Generally speaking, it's unwise to comment about prior art in a public forum like this. That is because the other side of the patent dispute can see what we're saying. Sometimes they can use this knowledge to help strengthen their case. It's unfortunate that the US patent system promotes secrecy, but that's the way it is.
