Althou...An amusing read, about an amusing patent. <br />Although uspto will grant patents, it does not mean they will hold up in court anyways. <br />A patent is a license to sue. And it must be defendible in court (against challenge). <br />They don't have a legal ground to stand on. <br /><br />What's more, this is a badly designed patent: it is too specific. Of course, had it been less specific (and thus better written), it probably would not have been granted. An example of what I mean, but that can be transposed to the whole thing: instead of 4 lights, write it as "1 or more lights", and leave our extraneous details like specifics on aperture or ISO, etc. as you really don't need all those limitative factors - a "photographic device" or "image recording device" might be better.
