Comment #4 -
Bellow are info from USPTO database about 155 patent and 495 patent. Note 155 patent
was issued from Appl. No.: 06/633,388 and 495 was issued from Appl. No.: 06/633,384. looks
unrelated until you read the BACKGROUND OF INVENTION of each patent -

"This invention relates to electronic computer systems and the like, and more particularly relates to
improved methods and apparatus for achieving a video display having high resolution.
Related U.S. patent applications are: application Ser. No. 633,385 entitled "Video System Controller
with a Row Address Override Circuit" by Jeffrey C. Bond and Robert C. Thaden, application Ser.
No. 633,384 entitled "Single Chip DRAM Controller and CRT Controller" by Robert C. Thaden
and Jeffery C. Bond, application Ser. No. 633,386 entitled "Video Memory Controller" by Robert C.
Thaden, Jeffery C. Bond, James C. Moravec, Karl M. Guttag, Raymond Pinkham and Mark Novak, " ...
and a few more. Thaden and his co-inventors rapid filed 7 patent applications in a very short period and
patents issued are assigned to TI. Precisely speaking, 155 and 495 are cousins, not bothers, since
they are related (as inventor disclosed) to the same inventor and assignee and filed closely together.

Thanks for your thoughts.
