To get somewhat familiar with the history of the company and the patents I suggest you go back to around 2002 or so. Start reading. Quit your job and stay up all night so you will have enough time to skim through sec filings, patents at USPTO, court documents etc., etc., and etc.,.....and we will talk in a couple of months. I assume you have a sense of humor. Anyway, that is the primer. If you really want to get smarter, do what I do, have yourself a nice single malt and it will all become clear.
