One final point: many small companies now routinely, and very publicly, DISCLOSE their new products, in great detail, precisely so that said products can NOT be patented by a competitor! They do not want to pay royalties to someone else for something that they already make and use in their business. For some CS generator makers, this could be worth considering, assuming that they have some innovations. . . .

Evening John,  and others who made comments on patents,

I agree with virtually everything stated.

However, in some cases, when a small time infringement is involved, a "Cease and Desist" letter has always stopped production, in my experience.

The average individual or small business simply don't want legal action for a small amount of profit.

Big dollar situations, I agree are different.

I still wonder about those words, "forbids all others from making, selling or using".
