You hear about some weird patents (like British Telecom trying to enforce a patent on hyperlinks), but I'd never imagined they didn't have to be actually possible.

Can I submit this patent for a Jump Drive please?

Coolie beans.

Thanks fridge...sorta.

Cool info and such, and I am always interested in how governments work...speaking of mine just called me back.

Funny, although kinda long winded, that is what I said (written for the English weniers like the one in the room with me).

For Fridge: Really, Wiki in the USPO, not sure how I feel about this and not to start a flame war, but I have an Inventor friend, and yes has at least on Patent that we are cleared to know of (a Fiber Optic Bend Device, they may have used it to do FOG-M in fact, hey what ever happened to FOG-M anyway?)

FOG-M did'nt proceed beyond the demonstration phase, as funding for the programme was terminated in 1998...
However, the Israeli NT- S Spike anti-tank missile system does use a fibre optic communications link to connect it to the launcher...
