Unusual patent number

It's because it's a reissued patent. The patent number is 05367685.

Thanks! I'll update the article. Ciaran 10:22, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

All trivial patents?

The quoted claims seem to all be completely trivial.

Shouldn't Google be able to get them all invalidated easily? (even without prior art)

Private / Protected

From the page:

Prior art: This is C++ private / protected.

No, those apply at the level of individual members - not classes.

Whoever made that comment regarding not classes is incorrect. Private/protected can be applied to members AND classes in C++. As well as C# and probably some other languages.
