<This should allow AMAT to lock up the IP on web format. You can assume that if they consummate the acquisition, AMAT will aggressively protect the new found IP to the detriment of SFAM.>

AMAT followers better hope Obsidian has already done so OR that their lack of doing so factored into their valuation. It would be a shock to me if any of Obsidian's intellectual property that has not gotten proper attention from Patent Counsel hasn't crossed hairs with section 102 of Title 35, regardless of AMAT's deep pockets. Besides, the US is still a first to invent country with one year bars or limits on patent protection due to commercialization (on sale) or public use among other things. Am I misunderstanding your point?
