Daniel/Linux, Brian Rayve from Malinkrodt & Malinkrodt has been assigned the Tux 2 Patent analysis and will have a preliminary infringment analysis sometime next week that will be posted to this list when it is available. He has obtained the NetApp patents and is reviewing them and preparing the analysis. A detailed analysis of all related patents outside the NetApp patents requires a formal request for patent search with the USPTO and will take 4-6 weeks to complete. If the NetApp patents do not infringe, then we will perform the exhaustive search of the USPTO prior to giving Daniel a green light. Any parties who have any patent issues or prior art with Tux2 may send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (801-328-1624) to assist with this issue. New Linux patent issues other than Tux2 should be sent thru me so I can arrange for the funding for the patent research.
