Hi Jacqi,

Yup, goes all the way back in one small step to 4/18/90.

Did some digging on the Wiggers (HP -#4998262) and Grover (Alberta Telecom - #5361277) patents with respect to the M-CAM article. Using M-CAM's patent continuation chain on page 8, I looked up Rambus' 5243703 (first patent on clocking), 5434817, 5511024, 5430676 and 5319755 patents. These are the first generation offshoots from the '703 patent. None of these including the '703 patent disclose the Wiggers or Grover patents. (BTW, the 5360308 patent shown on M-CAM's chart as a first generation offshoot from the '703 patent is for a vibrating gate on a dump truck--LMAO. Great add for their software.)

Then I went to the next generation of patents, 6070222,6034918,6032214 and guess what? These patents supply the Grover patent as a reference (and guess what--the Grover patent references the Wiggers patent).
And guess what, Mikey likes it, because these patents issued.

So at least to some extent this issue was before the USPTO and patents issued with full knowledge of the other patents.

All the best,
