Patent holder?? GET HIM! Good thing you didn't post on slashdot. Taybin ******** LOL!! Well, my name is on a number of patents, including one (#6,457,152) accepted by the Patent Office a few weeks ago. (Also post-1996 - #6,356,099, #6,240,480, Pre-1996 I just don't remember, but there were a few.) However, I own no rights to any of them as when we sign employment agreements here in the US we sign away all right to anything we invent while being paid by the company we work for. Nice 'eh? ;) Taybin - I pick my fights carefully. I don't even *visit* slashdot from a computer that knows my name! ;-)
