What steps are you going to take to make sure that this improvement is available to all ASIC designers/mfgs on a equal opportunity basis? The fact that you've chosen to patent this improvement could be a centralization concern depending on the licensing model used. For example, one could imagine a licensing model that gave one manufacture exclusive rights. -- https://petertodd.org 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org
