Maybe jobsing? Take care Oliver On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 8:44 AM, Luciano, Joanne S. <luciaj2@rpi.edu> wrote: > Yes, wow.

It's not clear to me that it would be granted because, if I recall correctly, it has to not be obvious how to do it to someone who practices in the field. My patents are from 2000 and 2001, so it's been a while that I've been through the patent execution process. That being said, it may be a bit of a heads-up, be on the lookout. > > Joanne > > On Feb 5, 2013, at 6:21 AM, Robert Stevens <robert.stevens@manchester.ac.uk> > wrote: > >> Who'd have thought it?
