Paige ... wouldn't it be a kick if xenophon was a patent attorney for Sandia? Would you be so sure that all was hunky dory then?
Food for thought, eh? Kind of a show stopper, eh?
Not that I think he is, but ya never know.
Even more food for thought: How hard would it be for Sandia to pursue li'l ol cdex? Whatchawannabet they have access to some of the best legal minds in the country and maybe around the world (not to denigrate H&H) and could make mincemeat of li'l ol' cdex and its one (ONE!) patent if they thought it necessary.
But ya know what? I doubt they would. Why? Because Sandia has more important things to do.
What do you know about patent law, paige? That getting this one (ONE, omygawd!) took a looooooong time so that makes it rock solid secure and valid? Especially since it has gone "thru a "few final rejections" (more than one)"? Is that some sort of trial by fire that cleansed cdex and proved the company's and the patent's purity and godliness? I never knew it was that easy!
And why was it on purpose -- whose purpose? -- that it took a looooooong time? What was served by "on purpose" making it take a long time? Just looking for clarification, paige.
Loved your final remark: "if I am wrong ohwell ... what does it matter anyway." Kinda puts anything you've ever posted or will post in the future in perspective, doesn't it?
Better leave patent discussions to peeps who know what they're talking about, paige. Just a suggestion for you (and inet who likes to think he knows everything about everything. Maybe he can ask his son to look into this for him -- that would be helpful, I'm sure).
