Miami, FL | ATSC related patent It appears that Rembrandt is claiming patent No. 5,243,627 as the main patent being infringed in the ATSC digital tv spec. This patent was filed by Bell Labs in 1991 and was eventually acquired from one of their spinoffs, Paradyne. I wonder if a requirement of the ATSC standards body was that any patents filed in relation to the technology could not be used against other members. |

Canonsburg, PA | I know that Rembrandt didn't exist when the digital transition was first mandated but I wanted to point out its importance to the federal government. The Rembrandt lawyers may learn to regret getting in the way. |
