NeoMedia Technologies, Inc (NEOM)

[early retirement]

Question regarding the new patent:

I haven't read over the technicals yet, and even if I did, I'd probably still be asking this question. What does this patent solidify that the others did not? There has always been talk that we own the "bridge". Now today I read that this new patent is actually the "bridge". What gives? Are our other patents not as strong as we thought? Could someone else have circumvented our "bridge" prior to NEOM obtaining this additional patent? Or maybe there is more than ONE bridge? There is an inconsistency somewhere.
