Years ago I read a bunch of letters filed by Rossi's patent lawyers arguing that his work is fundamentally different from Arata's. I think it is fundamentally different in some ways, but the reasons these lawyers listed seemed unimportant. There were better reasons, in my opinion. But I know little about patents. Perhaps those lawyers listed the kinds of differences the Patent Office wants to see. If Arata's patent applications have lapsed, I guess Rossi's patent attorney would want to show that his work is not like Arata's. Otherwise his claims would also lapse, wouldn't they? - Jed
