  Good question.  I'd like to know as well.

  Another question:  I thought that patents only applied to individuals/
organizations that were attempting to PROFIT from the use of anothers
ideas.  It would appear from the newsletter that I'm mistaken, yet the
question remains as to why?  I realize that all of this has probably been
discussed many times over the years, but I haven't seen it yet....
