No it isn't, but I would expect him to have patented anything he could get away with and have his shell companies lying in wait for anyone who builds an infringing oven.

This comment has nothing to do with mine. It's just noise. I was talking about CVaps, and you're talking about... patent trolling? Myrvhold didn't invent CVaps.

Oh, you weren't talking about Nathan Mhyrvold and the oven? OK then.

FYI, patent trolls usually haven't invented the thing they hold a patent for.

As in "the mousetrap". As in "the disingenuous reply". A class rather than an instance, but you knew that.
