Re: [emergency] Azos AI, LLC Patent

[Art Botterell <acb@incident.com>]

How cute!  Baby's first Patent Troll!

I guess I should be worried about someone trying to cash in on the  
multi-million dollar CAP industry, but this one is so absurdly off  
the mark I'm having trouble getting a proper grump on.

(Can't resist quoting from the sidebar on that very page of  
patentstorm.us:

   Today In History 	
   Patent No. 382,280
   May 1, 1888)
   Nikola Tesla granted a patent for the "electrical transmission of  
power".)

I assume there's language on the OASIS site to the effect that  
assertions posted on that page are unverified and that their  
publication there neither establishes nor stipulates their validity?
