<PRE>&gt;<i> &gt;/ Long time ago, iPIX, a company from USA muliplied patent lawsuit against
</I>&gt;<i> /&gt;/ these free algorythms inventor and photographers using them (this
</I>&gt;<i> /&gt;/ company is now dead because of bankruptcy but the patent problem is
</I>&gt;<i> /&gt;/ still live... )
</I>&gt;<i> /
</I>&gt;<i> Well, who own the patents now ?
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>I don't know who owns this particular patent from iPIX:
Sony (larvatus prodiens, i e anymously ) baught 28 patents  in 2007
Minds-Eyes-View won the auction for the remaining (trademark, softwares
etc...)

But this doesn't solve the more global problem of rpms with patent
problems (how to have them clearly  built and identified : need
different suffixes ?)
