Were it not for Dr. Trimble, we may not have that technology at all. I had the opportunity to talk to Dr. Trimble just a few short weeks ago. He followed our conversation with a letter to me. He is the owner of the patents. He is the one who has designed this system. He is fighting off submarine patents right and left. It is not the right thing for our country to allow.”
