PATENTS & LICENSES -- Covering Their Assets

When asked to clarify what his patent covers and his intentions for its enforcement, Freedman replied that, "Since I have ongoing work in this area, I do not have any public comments (to make)."

Given the complexity of the issues, and perhaps seeming remoteness, the temptation is there to take the same approach to patents as many do to OSHA or EPA inspections, licensing of fonts, etc. Don't worry about it until that proverbial knock on the door comes.
