What does that tell us about the clues of the > European Patent Office? Nothing so far. Intel probaly was the first one to file this kind of patent. Take a look at the date when it was filed (2001-01-18). This is still about one year after the initial revision of VDR... So there is the "right of prior use". If VDR has been doing what ever the patent claims to protect, then it will be difficult for Intel to enforce the patent against VDR.(...I think). Andr?
