can anyone recommend any FAQ or HOWTO or a book about
how to apply for a patent in the USA?
I think this is pretty much off-topic for this list.
I'd therefore like to apply for a patent
and make the mechanism available for free for the
open source community (like GPL), but to take license
fees from commercial vendors like Microsoft. Beat 'em
with their own weapons.
As mad as I am about the problems that the MS SenderID patent and
license has caused, I don't think that two wrongs make a right. I
hope that such a patent encumbered technology would not be put in any
standard advanced by the IETF.
