Observations of a "Rookie" I am not overly familiar with DCC having just returned to the hobby after a "leave of absence" of about 8 years:but I have been involved in a couple of patent suits. I made the attempt to view and read the patents by clicking on the link provided above. The following is the result: Under Construction The site you were trying to reach does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please try this site again later. If you still experience the problem, try contacting the Web site administrator. Personally I find that the page is currently being modified very interesting indeed. I can tell you from experience that if a patent is worded as vaguely as some other posters claim, it will almost certainly be declared invaled. I don't know who MTH are, again I am a bit of a rookie, but they may be simpley trying to get as many of their perceived competators as possible to "bite" on a license agreement without having to actually go to court and defend the patent. I have seen this very tactic work, at least initially, in other industries. The smaller guys go for the license because it is far less expensive than the alternative. Eventually someone steps up, accepts the suit, goes to court and the patent is declared invalid.
