New patent submission

I just submitted a new patent idea at work. It describes a pattern matching engine that I designed and implemented for signature based negative security (i.e., signature based IDS/IPS). The engine is useful in cases where one needs to match a large (possibly even a very large) number of matching rules against data, for example be used in lexical analyzers or parsers, or other information extraction tools.

Let's see when the patent committee discusses the idea.
