How cute! Baby's first Patent Troll!
I guess I should be worried about someone trying to cash in on the
multi-million dollar CAP industry, but this one is so absurdly off
the mark I'm having trouble getting a proper grump on.
(Can't resist quoting from the sidebar on that very page of
patentstorm.us:
Today In History
Patent No. 382,280
May 1, 1888)
Nikola Tesla granted a patent for the "electrical transmission of
power".)
I assume there's language on the OASIS site to the effect that
assertions posted on that page are unverified and that their
publication there neither establishes nor stipulates their validity?
