Got a quick question, some time back a few members from corporate at the company I work at approached me concerning a possible law suit that group of guys was pushing onto large companies. They claim to have a patent on linking excel to PLC's and that any company practicing this was in violation. Has anyone else heard about this and is this even possible to have to pay a fine because you might have some applications linked to a PLC via an excel spreadsheet. Just for the record, I do not have any of these and use wonderware solely for linking into my PLC's but it was a strange topic for our legal department to bring to me. Would love to know more information about this if possible as our legal department was very vague on the subject and basically just asked point blank as to whether we are using certain types of applications.
Thanks,
Chris
