[TowerTalk] News from Bencher

[Greg Gobleman]

Just because something has been in use for years does not prevent someone
from coming along and patenting it.  Unless someone else wishes to spend the
money to prove otherwise, a patent may be issued.  If another business comes
along later and attempts to make use of technology that was in existence
before a patent was issued, it would be upon them to prove that and the
money doing so may not be worth it.  It would be more cost effective to back
off and find a work around.
