Seems to me the trick would be do you as an individual, free-lance
inventor have the money and the time to go up against the battery of
lawyers and words and funds that a corporation intent on "breaking"
(not being a lawyer, I don't claim to be using the correct word here)
your patent would bring to bear if it were really serious?  Polaroid
isn't exactly the guy next door with a lab in his garage and a computer
in his attic and $150 in his savings account ...
