The "look-alike” patent and its championed product is an interesting case. When we first looked at the file history of the patent we were NOT actually surprised to see that ALL the initial claims were rejected by the patent office as being precluded by Tautachrome’s (Jon N Leonard’s) patent work. Our work is pioneering and world changing. It is not surprising that people want in on the action and that our being there first is a hindrance to them.
Subsequently, the inventors on the look-alike added features that were acceptable to the patent office, that involved creating a web page for each picture, requiring a picture to be watermarked within a set fixed time, and having the picture come back to the camera from the cloud.
In my view these low value features got their patent out the door, but left its owners in a precarious place. To me it appears that any product of theirs would likely infringe our claims, while no product of ours would infringe theirs.
