``Moore`s lawyers have asked the court to keep some docs sealed from public view, including some depositions (I think Higgins` is one of them)``
In his recent testimony, Fish described the invention of the `336 Patent, known colloquially as the ``Fish Clock,`` as follows:
Question: ... As to the Fish Clock, what you`ve called the ``Fish Clock,`` is that something that you told Mr. Higgins [patent counsel for Fish and Moore] at the time he was preparing the patent application was your sole invention and not the joint invention of yours and Mr. Moore?
Answer: ... the day before the patent filing, he [Higgins] said, ``Have you got anything else you want to put in?`` I said, ``Well, I got this idea for this clock.`` He said, ``Well, tell me about it.`` And I told him about the ring oscillator [`336 Patent]. And he said, ``Go write it up! Bring it back.``
Fish drew a diagram and prepared the descriptive text on his own machine and delivered it to Higgins the next day for immediate filing in the PTO.

Could Higgins be sitting on the originals of Fish ?
