Yeah, Ralabate seems to be trumpeted quite a bit. The Xerox story seems to be the favourite. With several other items on the market that would seem to be covered by XYBR patents, why don't I see any royalty income on the balance sheet (I may have missed it). It's one thing to defend the patents existence, difficult to prove in court that they should be getting royalties because of the patents. IBM has quite a few wearable patents themselves. The basic patent on handsfree computing would seem overly broad as it could cover any number of prtable handsfree gadgets. I worry that all you have to do is add a Twiddler to a wearable and you are around many of the patents (for that matter, the mouse on the MAIV seesm to require hands). The rest of the patents that I looked at seemed to be narrow design patents (come one, patenting the adjustable HMD in the 90's???) Do you know of any objective evaluation of the patent position? I am not down on this company, just the opposite. I am just looking for info that doesn;t seem to come directly or indirectly from PR Newswire. ASK
