I read in a magazine recently that some "questionable" (my quotes) patents of Quantel's were recently upheld in (British?) court, despite expert witness testimony from people like Jim Blinn. Does anybody have more information on this? What exactly do Quantel's patents cover, and will this affect any existing computer graphics software? I am not familiar with what Quantel's claims are, but I believe it has something to do with some of the tools they provide on the Quantel Video Paintbox, like mixing colors on a pallete, etc. -Jonathan
