If you don't find it there, I would expect they would have to have at least two patents, one in Europe and one in the US (though I don't know how that game works). When I searched the US Patent and Trademark Office database online for patents containing the text "saitek and mephisto" there were no hits. When I searched for just "saitek" I got 16 hits as shown at this url: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2Fsearch-adv.htm&r=0&p=1&f=S&l=50&Query=saitek&d=ptxt There are only a couple that look like they apply, but I didn't have time to go through them yet. I also think if Saitek has a claim they should serve you a legal notice identifying the patents in question. Anything less is just "hogwash". Regards, Chuck
