I was contacted via email by someone from PC Dynamics this morning.
They're looking for a copy of an article by Glenn Everhart that appeared in
the Mid-80's in an issue of the DEC Professional magazine. It deals with
cryptodisk software for VMS.
This is needed as part of their work on invalidating Patent 6,185,681
Here is the link about it from /.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/24557.html
"A previously unknown Californian firm which has obtained a patent for
application-independent file encryption is seeking to enforce licensing from
other companies in the security industry. "

Have they tried contacting Glenn directly? His email address
should be easy to get through google.

That appears to be better odds than the chance of the Patent Office
hiring competent examiners these days.
I guess I'm just going to have to start scanning in or at least indexing
all my old Byte, DDJ, CLM, Creative Computing, SciAm, etc. issues. There
are freaking advertisements in them with enough prior art in them to
demolish this claim, I'll bet.
