Intellectual property, part II

We had our first phone conf with the lawyers handling SUN041335. One of them said he didn't expect anyone in the patent office to look at it for 2-3 years, at which point the person having a look would reject the claims, and our lawyers would have to defend them. In other words, the entire process would take several years.

So this is not a way of supplementing my income. Oh, well.
