I hear a lot of people talking about patents on MSX chips. Could anyone point
out exactly what parts of the designs are patented and by who? Since the
stories about patents are so vague, I am starting to believe they are rumors
rather than facts. After all, patent claims are always published, that is
part of the concept.
This is not criticism against you, it's just a general feeling that's
bothering me increasingly. However, if you could give some details on SEGA's
patents, it would ease my mind.

Why act so mysteriously? The "MSX Revival" project is not a secret, we can
discuss it openly.
