Re: Digital Audio: first-use patent rights[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Patent Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by Ned Ericson on July 17, 2001 at 10:23:45: In Reply to: Digital Audio: first-use patent rights posted by P L on July 16, 2001 at 17:47:36: : I am the original inventor of downloadable digital audio (1984) Another big problem is the statute of limitations, which is generally 6 years for patents. (There are two other time-limits in patents: laches and estoppel, which are tricky to explain.) Other time limits may apply, varying from state to state. The bottom line is why did you wait so long to bring this up? If you have a strong enough reason, you may be able to overcome the time limit. Otherwise, it may be a non-starter.
