Does this look familiar to any one? Message #1 Posted by Gerardo Rincon on 20 Mar 2010, 4:43 p.m. Does this calculator look familiar to any one?

Re: Does this look familiar to any one? Message #2 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 20 Mar 2010, 5:03 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gerardo Rincon Yes, it does. It's a well known 12c work alike. Whether it uses code and patents from HP, I don't know.

Re: Does this look familiar to any one? Message #3 Posted by Eric Smith on 20 Mar 2010, 11:13 p.m., in response to message #2 by Marcus von Cube, Germany I'm not sure what patents you're referring to, but it is unlikely that it uses any of HP's code, as there are many differences in its behaviour compared to the 12C (and 12c Platinum).

Re: Does this look familiar to any one? Message #4 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 21 Mar 2010, 2:19 a.m., in response to message #3 by Eric Smith I wasn't thinking of any specific patent. From what you are telling, it's not a licensed copy, just a clone.

Re: Does this look familiar to any one? Message #5 Posted by Walter B on 21 Mar 2010, 2:27 a.m., in response to message #2 by Marcus von Cube, Germany AFAIK, after more than 25 years, any patents still applicable seem pretty unlikely.
