You may be right that Tmmi will unroll new technology, completely unrelated to "VDK Softvideo Fractal". I'm prepared to wait and see, for want of any other option. If they ever do, I think they will have to regain credibility before anyone takes them at their word. I say this because what they say doesn't always seem true.

You've asked about Dim's patents as described on their website. I don't know what Dim's advertising has to do with anything Tmmi advertises. But is there something on Dim's website that you think contradicts the findings made by Judge Gonzales?

Well, hearing nothing back, I've gone ahead and looked at Dimension's patents at the USPTO. Again.

I'm not sure what it is that you are hoping I will see but I think the important question is whether the granted patents conflict in some important way with anything Tmmi purports to have developed or own. I don't know the answer to that but it is the fundamental question that the USPTO will address when deciding whether to grant Tmmi's patent applications.

Was there some other point? I agree that Dim appears to have a number of patents, none of them are exact duplicates, and one was significantly invalidated. I'm not seeing that Dim is boasting anywhere about the invalidated one.

I think the status of the patents is a far more important consideration than the question of the license to VDK 2 -- a license concerning use of property that is now public domain.
