Florian's earned his money on this one by inserting the factually accurate yet misleading phrase "64 granted patents and 22 pending patent applications" into almost every story about this.

I also note the linguistic irony of accusing a rival's technology of being "proprietary" while at the same time claiming ownership and veto rights over it.
