Heh! - "as such" eh? - does that mean you can't think of a 'technical effect' 
that compressing data by LZW compression has? Nor can I but I doubt a patent 
lawyer or examiner would have much trouble. '-) Anyway, there're lot's of 
U.S. ones but I think this news story needs something U.K. specific and 
recent.
