As far as I know, patents can't be "renewed." I've heard they can be "re-issued," amended, but to my knowledge that doesn't extend their term. Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com

Uh.... Wait a minute. I don't normally pick on spelling and grammar errors (heaven knows - I make enough myself) but this discussion, over patents and laws, seems to be involving someone bent on setting a record for ridiculous errors. Is "Intense" a child? (Actually my children, all three of them, would not make these mistakes!) We see here a discussion over points of patent law and government policy, and Jim seems to be having a battle of wits with a half-armed opponent.
