pareto that's a great site.......no way I can figure out by reading that stuff if the patents are any good....proof of their value remains the fact that DC paid big time for right to use this stuff.........Dc's product seems identical to what paperclick was doing so that is probably why they had to pay up..........whether others will have to pay up who are not so closely related to Neom's stuff remains to be seen......could you imagine the value of NEOM if it turns out that a scanner built into a cellphone would need NEOM.........I asked a very specific question to the CEO during that media conference about this ...I asked, "What is it that Neom has that requires others to pass thru Neom for the simple reading of a bar code and converting it to a url".....He gave a very long answer most of which didn't address the question but in the middle of all this he said something like " it might not cover what you ask"....so my conclusion is the patents probably won't cover stuff like what infospace is trying to do with commerce over cellphones but none the less I am sticking the course to see if I am wrong as the upside seems so great it is worth the chance to see what happens
