While Clock-SI seems to be considered the best promising for global
serializability here,

* Why does Clock-SI gets so much attention?  How did Clock-SI become the
only choice?

* Clock-SI was devised in Microsoft Research.  Does Microsoft or some other
organization use Clock-SI?

Could you take a look at this patent?  I'm afraid this is the Clock-SI for MVCC.  Microsoft 
holds this until 2031.  I couldn't find this with the keyword "Clock-SI.""

If it is, can we circumvent this patent?

Thank you for the research (and previous links too).
I haven't seen this patent before. This should be carefully studied.
