Pending Borrocks Software Patent Portfolio and Links

A major software patent portfolio based around our BORROCKS technology is being built; initially for defensive measures as it now the software industry norm. Despite attracting a cost of approximately US$20,000 per patent proposal, given recent applications by other companies that were successfully approved by the US Patent Office, we are highly confident on succeeding on all following patent applications.
Following are summaries of BORROCKS patent applications.

• Use of ASCII banner at non 0 degree angle on a network based technology

• Use of the word "BOLLOCKS" and its derivatives in an internet context

• ASCII stamping of ASCII files

• New Generation Technology in News and E-mail Interaction

• Dynamic integration of the word "moribund" upon internet based technology
