Well, you're still "in the process"... Let me know what your opinion is  
after your first trial :p

Can't have an opinion on your specific invention, of course, but most  
software patents I've looked at are laughable and would require a major  
investment in smooth-talking lawyers to dupe the court. Search for Adobe  
on uspto.gov. Oh, they patended using phone cameras for reading patterns?  
In 2005? Great.
