True /. may be a biased forum for the finer points of patent law. What irritates me about reading about frivolous patents such as these is that my company has been trying to get a patent on a legitimately new idea for about four years now. The process is frightfully expensive, confusing, intimidating, and honestly probably not worth the effort for a small company such as ours.
