kudos:1 | Sue Happy I wonder what it would be like today if Philips had patented fast-forward and rewind back then. |

They wouldn't be able to patent fast-forward and rewind, very general concepts. They would only be able to patent a specific implementation of said features.
And even if they did the patent would have run out by now. |
