[News.eclipse.dsdp.mtj] Re: Preporcessing is having some patents

[Kevin Horowitz <khorowit@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You can get more detail of the text from the US Patent Office at 
http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html .  We need to study these in more 
detail, but they are specific preprocessing solutions in specific 
scenarios that we will probably not exploit.  We are more likely to run 
up against the Sun Microsystem patent in preprocessing then the IBM 
patent in a generic solution.
