Err..

I say that based on

a) I know someone that works in the USPO doing this type of work
b) I know people working in DOC that do audits of the various offices and Bureaus.
c) Wasn't there a patent in the recent years that someone got by that was the basis of computing (something about lists in programming). I can't remember the conversation I had with my friend about which specific one it was though.
