Foxcub I have three granted patents to my name (none of them software). I know a great deal about the subject, about the burden of proof required concerning originality, and having successfully fought my way through the process three times as well as being unsuccessful on other occasions I fully see the dangers of a patent office willing to issue patents on matters which it patently fails to comprehend.

That being said, I'm surprised that you saw in my comments an inference one way or the other - I had thought that my mention of Dominus on one side and merlyn on the other (by association only) would show that there are differing views and cannot find the phrase in my initial response which supports your implication.

I feel that you have overstepped the mark in claiming that I have attempted to imply anything other than what I clearly stated, and trust that you will respond by pointing to the phrase which led you to make such an accusation in the first place
