Quantel Ltd. is a British media and communications company that specializes in providing digital effects hardware to the television and movie industries.
What’s important here is that Quantel first received equivalent British patents, and a reciprocity agreement observed by most major countries endows the U.S. patent with a priority date equal to the date of filing in the U.K. Thus, the priority date is December 4, 1980 for the two earliest patents in this case.
In this case Quantel argued that because Photoshop performs the same operations described in the patents, the fact that it does so entirely in software is irrelevant.
