This seems too simple, but aren't pending patents available for public
scrutiny as are patents granted.  I'm probably wwrong on this but I
seem to remember being told that this is so.  If this is the case the
question of how HDCD works is easily answered/dug up.

It depends on the country.  In the US, patents pending are confidential between
the Patent Office and the inventor.  If the patent is denied, the invention
remains confidential.  It is only disclosed if the patent is granted.  This
is not true in some other countries, where the invention becomes public whether
the patent is granted or denied.
