Ingo,
You don't even know what it is enough to comment intelligently. You can write the patent office and obtain a copy. The patent is currently in dispute between Novell and several other companies over S&E ownership, and there's a court hearing scheduled to resolve it (lukily I don't have to deal with this one). Nice thing about being an inventor, though, is I have rights to it, no matter who ends up with the S&E assignment. (dogs fights over a bone ...).
