Hmm question is, I know no on any working prototipe at that time. That is the funny thing of soft patents. If Oct 17th 1994 someone ask the patent maker to show exactly such thing I douft it to be able to do. Seriusly you american guys should ask for a working prototipe in every patent. If diagrams are compulsory in hardware, source code should be compulsory in software. Regretly the open source community does not like patents, so it does not lobby for source code in the patents. > Have I missed anything? > The question of triviality. If based on previous known developments, the patent is trivial idea for a software ingeneer, it can also be dismissed, but at major juridical effort.
