What's that supposed to mean? That I should feel threatened? That I am afraid? I never worked for them. I don't have access to their "patents". Did you mean, but "oh, they were first-to-file"? If I was a warrior, which I am not, I might take that kind of thing as a warring behavior. Since I am not a warrior though, maybe it could be comprehended as an oppressive behavior. (I shouldn't have used the word "bitch", because "ain't no bitch, ever started a war"). (Not that I'd ever work for one though).
