Thanks for the kind words Jason! It is a way more expensive process than most think (as you know) thus the "some potential commercial value" phrase. No reason to prosecute a new patent or litigate an existing one if there is nothing at stake!

Both my kids studied engineering, both won their design contests at Baylor and both have good career choices because of FIRST. My son even joined the Navy Reserve as an EDO (Engineering Duty Officer). Now my grandson would live at the practice facility if we let him - it gets in your blood!
