Similar story with a patent that a friend applied for at National Instruments some years ago for his work on LabView software. As far as I could tell from his description it was more of an implementation detail rather than a patentable product. NI was pushing for patents though, and he obliged. Ended up getting a nice little bonus for his young family!
