Committee Members,
In July, Richard Ho disclosed to you that 0-In had been granted U.S.
Patent
6,175,946 B1 which may apply to topics being discussed by the Committee,
and
that 0-In was pursuing additional patent protection. I have included his
original message below.
Prior to issuance of U.S. Patent 6,175,946 B1, 0-In filed a continuation
of
the patent application. The continuation contains additional patent
claims
which may be relevant to the subject matter under consideration by the
Committee. In the interest of full disclosure, I am attaching a Word
document containing the current claims of the continuation application.
Note that these claims have not yet issued and are subject to change.
We are making this disclosure to ensure that the Committee is aware of
all
patent claims that 0-In has obtained or is pursuing and that are
relevant to
the Committee's work.
