Yep. Here's one. I read some other's this morning but don't have
time to track a bunch down right now. This one mentions the patent
as well, but I think there is a little more to this than just
speculation. Who knows, perhaps I'm wrong.

Pure speculation at this point, but I wish and hope it to be true. I
also wish and hope there really is a Santa Claus.
Here's one of several articles out there:

I have read several references to the above article, but no other
novel reporting on the topic. Can you name one or two?
This is so called news was first reported over two months old.

The patent in question is from November 2004.

We even extensively discussed this very patent, and the possibilities,
on this very list.

My conclusion, then as now, based on no evidence merely cynicism, is
that this is only about the stupid running shoes, and nothing to get
excited about.
