Ian - Your Bipolar DRIVEL.
Exponential WAS a COMPLETE FAILURE.
Never sold one CPU.
Completely irrelevant to a patent or IP issue -- and since your name appears on two Intel patents, you should know it too.
Patents only cost about $2000 per copy.
Also irrelevant. I don't think you're giving the people here much credit Paul. Filing a patent application may cost $2,000 (at a minimum) -- that's hardly the same thing as the 18 to 36 month process of having one submitted, reviewed by an examiner, queried, ammended, re-submitted, re-reviewed, and (maybe) issued.
You make it sound like a trip to Kinko's.
Did you ever stop to think that Intel may
have a patent or two in their portfolio?
I'm sure they do (two of them appear to be yours). But if their filing date is subsequent to Exponential's filing, they're simply worthless. Patent Law 101. If they're supersceded by prior art, they're revoked. That's the point.
By the way - to further illustrate your
DRIVEL, Intel dropped the Bipolar part of
their process in early 1997.
Fine. Then please explain the following quote from C-Net's own reports on the subject. To wit:
Exponential filed for its various patents first,
however, giving those plans status as "prior art" over
the Merced patents. With this designation, the
Exponential patents can theoretically supersede
Intel's patents...

Since you yourself don't seem to provide any verifiable evidence to support your own position on this subject, and appear to deliberately obfuscate fact, your credibility -- in my opinion -- is already questionable. Still, I'd appreciate a direct answer.
Assuming of course, you have one.
