<nonetheless, compliance with the ANSI standard DMT requires licensing AMTX patents.>

Most of these patents call out methods of achieving some functionality, and the standard calls out the functionality. The standard does NOT call out the method. Therefore, if you can achieve the functionality without using the Amati method you are not in violation of the patent.

Amati believes that all of their patents are the only way to do the
functions described. Simply put, this may be a bit arrogant because it assumes that no one could figure out another way to obtain the same functionality. If one can figure out a way to do the same functionality (ie training time, or time domain equalization, etc.), then one need not license the Amati patents. This is what I understand Aware claims for the patents (other than tone-ordering/bit swapping).

I haven't read very many of these recent messages, so perhaps this was already covered.

Regards-

Steve
