I was making a joke by suggesting that the patent itself is a joke. I skimmed through the patent but did not read it in detail. There may be some nugget in there that represents something new but nothing jumped out at me. The Patent system is now used aggressively and offensively. Patents are granted for things that actually represent common knowledge and/or prior art. The holders of these patents then use them to attack legitimate companies with successful products, hence the term "patent trolls". So, mostly I was just making a joke. -- Brian Lloyd Lloyd Aviation 706 Flightline Drive Spring Branch, TX 78070 [email protected] +1.210.802-8FLY (1.210.802-8359) _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
