Don't worry David, I think we are wasting our

In in case anyone is really interstested. I have the patent history
of both patents held by Conexant/Rockwell. It's pretty vague, dry,
boring stuff to read.
I bought them a while ago with the intention of issueing a request
for re-exam claiming that there was sufficient prior-art. But the
with some "unofficial" talks with a Patent laywer doing this could
actually strengthen the patent if it were to pass again. So I think
I'll just wait and let the big boys hash this one out.
Bottom line, screw them and their patent. Let them
send their lawyers
after you, who cares. If it comes to that, post an article to slashdot
Dave, Originally I was all about this (thats why I bought the
patents) but the Dmitry Sklyarov case kinda took the wind out of my
sails. Since I live in the US.
