Ah yes; it also appears that "ISCSI" has been trademarked
by One World Technologies of Huntington Beach CA, 
doing business as Ariston Technologies.   

Serial Number 75-536138, filed August 13, 1998.
"Computer hardware and computer software drivers that instruct
hardware how to communicate with operating systems and other 
computer software for use on individual computers and 
local area networks."

hi, all:

i did a patent search on the net and came across emc's
patent (5996024) which describes using scsi devices
over network protocols. it covers ip, of course.

pardon my ignorance, but if a patent has already been 
granted, how would this affect further work on i-scsi,
ip storage, etc?
