Thanks Eric,Rick and all,
Ran across this the other day and thought it might be useful. I
haven't had a chance to go through much of the material (because
there's a lot!), but it looks to be along the same lines as what you
had pulled together.
Presentation materials are available in the links as well.

You guys missed a really great discussion today. We had to expert
presenters and two representatives from the Patent Office. They
discussed a lot of issues that have been raised here. I only wish I
had taken better notes. I did get the chance to speak directly with
Dr Lee Hollaar who spoke of several ways to deep six a patent. One is
to file (free) with the patent office a notice of a publication which
would represent prior art. This is attached at an application or even
a granted patent. If the patent holder tries to enforce the patent by
filing suit in court the lawyer would be guilty of filing not in good
faith or some such legal term and would be in deep sneakers with the
court. There were other things that can be done and they don't
require you to be a lawyer or use one.
I was very impressed with the knowledge of the presenters as well as
the USPTO representatives. Probably the most useful thing that was
said was that there are many views of the new law but it is the law.
Those who are most aware of it and use it are the ones who will most
profit. Getting an attitude about it accomplishes nothing.
BTW, many of the provisions don't take effect for over a year. So it
is just like an election, file early and file often!

Your description reminds me of Zero-knowledge proofs.This reminds me of something I was interested in some time ago,
though never got into researching it more. That is, the ability
to search encrypted text. If one could have a file if encrypted,
but not published, text, and the appropriate search algorithm, one
could determine, for example, the possible existence of prior art
without being able to actually read it. One might be able to find
that some unpublished provisional contained wording that might
cause it to be prior art.

Google for "computing on encrypted data". This is an active research area.This reminds me of something I was interested in some time ago,

I believe that there are other uses for such ability, and some
might even be patentable.
Yeah, that's pretty cool. I didn't know there was a name for it orOn Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:30:08 +0100, Noob wrote:
