Beim lesen der VT82C42 KBC Doks. ist mir etwas ins Auge gefallen, was ich euch nicht vorenthalten möchte.

The VT82C42 is a compatible direct replacement for the Intel 80C42 BIOS version of the Keyboard Controller. The VT82C42 is fully implemented by hardware logic so that it has a very fast response capability for any command issued by the host. In addition to keyboard support, the VT82C42 also offers PS/2 mouse support. The VT82C42 also offers the Mouse Lock TM  function (patent pending), a feature exclusively designed by VIA technologies, which locks the mouse when the keylock function is initiated.

Meiner Meinung nach sind "normale" Patente schon mehr Schlecht als Recht. Aber was es alles für Trivialpatente gibt ist einfach unfassbar.
