One problem with the Micros~1 attacks is their claims are vague and they 
require the victim to sign a non-disclosure agreement.  Given that 
patents are supposed to be publicly available, why the non-disclosure?  
Patent infringementclaims should be fully documented up front and 
non-disclosure in them agreements banned.
