I think you make a good point. I wasn't saying yes or no, just posing the question, since it seems like a fairly obvious invention, that one doesn't need to work particularly hard at to invent, and probably has been thought of and will be thought of repeatedly by people who work with rfid's over time. You say that's hindsight because i've only now heard of the combination. But I thought the whole premise of rfids was tiny devices that could be embedded in anything. Maybe it seems bogus because it's a human, social invention, rather than a technical one. In any case he got the patent, so what does he have to be bitter about? He even went to law school so it would probably cost him less to sue than the average joe. After going through all the trouble to get it, why doesn't he sue anyway? I bet the fear of having his patent invalidated if Disney decides not to settle plays a role.
