Thanks for the link.

If you knew about Commodore unreleased techs, you knew about what this video is talking. Great directing anyway.

I was the consultant from C='s engineering department to the legal team for the trial. It still makes me furious to think of such a computing pioneer brought down by a frivolous patent on a trivial technique that graphics programmers figure out on their own in high school.

There was even Prior Art to that stupid XOR patent … is was done at NASA many years before and this was published in an article - so this patent shout never have existed.
