In addition, the patent seems to have been completely overlooked, delaying the development of the technology by a couple of decades. Prima facie, its innovative use of digital technology was re-invented from scratch in ignorance of the patent by engineers who had previously been developing analogue spread-spectrum implementations. Its main impact on IP seems to have been to necessitate the reissue of a number of spread-spectrum patents with claims of considerably-restricted scope when the technology was declassified, allowing previously-secret patents to be issued.
