Its “patents” regurgitations of an imagined use of technology at the time they were written are generalizations which refer to nothing specific, no specific operating device and so are not and cannot be valid descriptions of a patented device. The patent system was created to protect the profits actual inventions
generate for the inventor/inventors. NTP, Inc is a pirate company, searching for vulnerable companies that will give in, pay up, much as the original pirates looked to capture ships of the Spanish main, and later attacked American trading ships as the Barbary pirates stopped by T.Jefferson. Its too bad judges aren’t seeing through the ruse. It looks like the patent office finally is.
