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.
