In December I got a letter from my lawyers office and today we followed up on it.

My Patent had a large number of the claims disputed, where we attempted too broad a venture. A sentence will fix them.

However two claims were admitted. In using color to encode and store data I am going to be the patent holder.

This is so big a deal. The human eye see's 10 million colors, aka 23.5 bits approximately. Since this is 700nm and lower if we use 700nm as a size for features this means I can encode on an inch2 (25,400,000nm2) 30,941,346,938 bits or about 3.86 gigabytes per square inch on.. plastic, glass, resins, etc. A deck of cards, two sided, with my data would be 3.5 terabytes and it would cost about 50¢ to $2 in materials.

The start of my Patent getting done is here as we will separate this one and file a continuation on the others. This one gets through as a start, a start I can definitely believe in.

I did it, I hit it big. I expect the formal Patent issuance in about April after conferring with my attorney.
