Looks like most of these patents can be killed by prior art. The first one is hashing, for instance.

- noselasd 14y agoAs mentioned elsewhere, a patent describes a system as a whole, and just because individual steps in a patent is/was in wide use elsewhere doesn't necessarily mean anything. Saying that this patent is invalid because it uses hashing would be similar to invalidating every patent describing a device made of iron because iron was invented before.
