#78549 RE: LawyerLong #78547

There is no relevance to EDIG that I can see. As you state, a thorough search of all prior art is done and listed by either the attorney prosecuting the patent or the examiner. There were nearly 150 citations in that QCOM patent. The prior art cited in an issued patent means its claims have been determined to be unique from the claims of the specific prior art cited.

Many other patents have cited '774 through the years and none had any relevance to EDIG. I'd like to know why anyone would consider the recent citation so significant or even relevant to EDIG shareholders.
