Anthony and SW, Message 7327848 Message 7327850 U.S. Patents are legally valid 20 years from the initial filing date of the U.S. application. Companies like GM, IBM, CPQ, DELL, etc. have patents that are older than 2 years. Please stick to the facts. uspto.gov "A patent for an invention is a grant of a property right by the Government to the inventor (or his or her heirs or assigns), acting through the Patent and Trademark Office. The term of the patent shall be 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States or, if the application contains a specific reference to an earlier filed application under 35 U.S.C. 120, 121 or 365(c), from the date the earliest such application was filed, subject to the payment of maintenance fees. The right conferred by the patent grant extends only throughout the United States and its territories and possessions"
