sounds like some work for one of the vendor's patent lawyers.  If this were
an auto patent problem, I would know whoto take it to.  But I do not think
that Chrysler can lend a hand in this one...

BTW, we do these things all of the time.  Many we win, some we cross
license, and some we loose in court (like intermitent wiper systems :).
Your industry is only beginning to learn this technique.
