Re: It's all about ENUM

Hi Folks,
  OK - I'm awake. I have so far had five of these notifications.

The "patent" I find most entertaining is "Method and apparatus for  
accessing communication data relevant to a target entity identified by  
a number string" (US Patent 701 2916)

2916 - they have to be kidding.
Is this proof that US patent examiners have a sense of humor?

all the best,
  Lawrence
