    I don't know who owns this particular patent from iPIX:<br>
    Sony (larvatus prodiens, i e anymously ) baught 28 patents&nbsp; in 2007<br>
    Minds-Eyes-View won the auction for the remaining (trademark,
    softwares etc...)<br>
    <br>
    But this doesn't solve the more global problem of rpms with patent
    problems (how to have them clearly&nbsp; built and identified : need
    different suffixes ?)<br>
