Fair enough. The fact that the different patent systems are not perfect doesn't justify to insult

Well, like I said, I do apologise - it was an unfortunate attempt at a humorous dig at the system
and the fact that patent examiners, who are generally overworked and underpaid, often end up being
forced to take on patents which are not really in their sphere of expertise due to pressure of work
(one of the Uni's Patent Agent's told me that the US patent office typically allocates less than 20
minutes per application - true or not, it gives some indication of the scale of the problem)
The next and justified question is if this is/was a topic to discuss on the sursound list, but
maybe I should run for cover... :-D
It was a slack day and it was surround sound related, so, nah, no need to run
for cover.
