Let me get this straight, he invents a new technology, doesn't patent it, then sends a prototype to one of the most vile software companies in the world, then gets fucked over big time... and he's surprised??

The patent process sucks, and takes a long time to get it to go through. The article says he filed in 2009, but he still has yet to get it. Maybe he was hoping to get a job in Microsoft Research or something?
