If anybody is interested, the Patent to which the annual report refers to several times seems to be #5,699,411, entitled "DOS compatible dictation and voice mail system" (yes, DOS). This was not verified by BCB, but it is the only patent assigned to BCB Technologies that shows up on the US Patent database. Patent was applied for Jan/96, and was received Dec/97. All of the references cited in the patent are from the 80's, except two, which are from 1990 and 1992. I have the abstract if anybody is interested. It does not sound as "state of the art" as the annual report makes it out to be, but like I said, I only have the abstract, and not the whole thing. Maybe somebody here has a copy of the whole patent?? Later, George.
