Does anyone actually have a patent number on this? I was previously told (and I'm sorry I don't have the source, that's why I'm asking now) that the AMBE codec was NOT patented, but was protected by Trade Secret law. If that is the case than it's entirely different and _could_ be clean reverse engineered legally, in theory. In practice it may simply be too complex to accomplish.
