The key here is "register it". I would also place a description of the software using general terms under the same registration. You want your software to be found when someone makes a patent search. And if it was missed (or ignored) during the search, you want legal documentation proving the prior art. -- David Johnson ___________________ http://www.usermode.org pgp public key on website -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
