Re: FIRST's patents

My two cents,
I think the filing is primarily defensive in nature. It can help prevent others from using FIRST generated ideas in the patent against it in court. It also adds one patent to Dean's collection. I don't know his total but I believe Edison's is over 1000. My list numbers 5 and two in process = 7.
