    As much as I dislike Roxio this is totaly wrong. Surely there must be a time period from when someone infringes your patent uttill you file a court case. These companies are sitting on it for years and years until they know they can make a bomb then they anounce it It appears the US patent office are willing to issue a pantent on just about any generic term
    When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

      Essentially, their patent says "We take the EXACT method used by WORM devices, and apply it to CD-ROMs".

      Seems fairly "obvious" to anyone "skilled in the art" to me.

        6 years, generally.

        Patents ARE published. If you're going to try to sell something, it's your job to make sure it's not patented.

          My reading of the patent suggests that Optima may actually have a point here.
