Is this the patent for the algorithm in question? http://www.google.com/patents/US20090043584 http://www.google.com/patents/US20090043584

  Certainly looks like it, or at least closely related. Can someone who is not served a localized copy of Google see if it is in fact a patent? (I see "status: application", loosely translated, but that's not something I can check the juridical meaning of.)

    If you are able to view this, it is a "United States Patent Application Publication" that is found by following the `view pdf` button on the above link: https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/pdfs/US20090043584.pdf https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=patentimages.st... Searching on the USPTO website returns no related patents: http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html The indication, to me, is that the patent has not made it past the application process.

      USPTO's PAIR website indicates that the application was rejected for non-patentability. I'd link it but PAIR doesn't do permanent links. Go to the main page at [1] and type in the application or publication number. [1] http://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair http://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair
