A lot of hardware is dependent on the firmware imbedded in to function,
more true 15 years ago than today, with a lot of hardware entirely
dependent on software to function at all.

Interesting that they should ask for a ban on sales of hardware, based on a
software patent. I guess that is just an ambit claim unless there is something
at the hardware level that actually infringes the patent. FWIW the Australian
government science body, CSIRO, sued all of the big hardware manufacturers
over a wifi patent and one by one they settled. I can't remember the details
but it was an algorithm developed for radio telescopes and was fundamental to
how wifi works.

lengthly search.
