You say the claim is not novel. I have no idea if that is true or not. If it
is true, prove it. I'm sure one side of this case will reward you handsomely
for the evidence.
I take issue with your assertions regarding obviousness. If its hard to show
that something is obvious, then almost by definition, it is not obvious.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It may need some digging (Google isn't being helpful) but in either the late
1960s or early 1970s the New Zealand banking system used a shared computer to
align accounts on a daily basis across all banks ... this doesn't seem that far
in concept from what is happening here (or perhaps I'm missing something). This
computer system may have been the one that used its spare time to introduce high
schools to programming - decks of mark-sense cards were dropped off at a bank
and outputs came back two days later ... and that was 1976.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
