The patent department replied that it was pointless just patenting some of the circuits if a competitor could use an equivalent circuit to get around the patent; they should patent all of them or not bother.
Odeljenje za patente im je reklo da nema svrhe patentirati samo nekoliko kola ako bi konkurencija mogla da iskoristi ekvivalentno kolo da zaobiđe njihov patent; treba da patentiraju sve ili da odustanu.
