I got several patents at RCA, and RCA pwned them, though I still had bragging rights. See them at http://pw2.netcom.com/~wa2ise/radios/patents.htm The 11 older ones are RCA's. Looks good on a resume. The latest 2 are Zoran's.

As for "collusion on any un-patented ideas or products" I got laid off, which implies that they don't think I have anything they value anymore. So F 'em...
