automute feature

[arkansasv1]

Today I looked up several of the patents on v1 website (I have no life).

This one, 5164729, is for an automute feature that the v1 curiously does not have. Yet they claim it is one of the patents for the v1.

You can read about it at patft.uspto.gov

Jazzy's misreading your post aside, the patent for all that don't want to search for it is here.

Interesting find.

an individual or a company can patent something without actually using it,

Then they can sell rights to that patent to another company to make money off of them if they want.

I have patents for items I have not produced, i just thought of it first and I am protecting my intellectual property by doing this

That patent was applied for 16 years ago.
