No, not really... but do we know anything about his wife's technical background??? The thought was really about his needing to protect the IP rights from those who have a grudge (legal or otherwise) against him... so he assigned the legal rights to someone else... If this is as big as it seems, he's in for a real battle... they'll be coming out of the woodwork to make claims or try to extract something if they have any leverage at all from his past dealings. Sad, but reality. I doubt it'll slow things down much... he'll almost for sure have the financial resources to fight the battles... but will he have competent attorneys? Is his wife on the patent as assignee???

Are you implying that this was (partly) Maddy's idea, by that comparison :-) http://www.teslasociety.com/Mileva.htm . I think it more likely the (25 million Euro) bill for toxic dumping may have had a little something to do with it too, bankruptcy laws being what they are in some countries.

This from the italian article sent to Jed by Pierre (earlier posting): "The prototype, already covered by patents owned by Maddalena Pascucci, wife of Ross[i]..." Article in La Republicca Bologna : http://bit.ly/gm9mlQ (translation is not perfect !) That must be a translation error... but it reminds me of rumors about Einstein's first wife. -Mark
