Scott,

Your information is out of date.  US Patents used to be for 17 years from the
date of issue, but that was changed to 20 years from date of filing a couple
of years ago.  My patent 5,832,440 issued Nov 3, 1998 is good for 20 years
from the filing date of Nov 6, 1997.

Check with a good patent lawyer.

There's a saying about that.  Something like:  "Its not what we don't
know that is the most dangerous.  Its thinking that we know something
that we don't."

Later,

Don W.
