This report is commonly referred to just as &quot;The First Draft Report&quot;, and was widely distributed enough in its &#x27;first draft&#x27; form to constitute as a publication in a later patent dispute (that is to say that one of the reasons the patents were invalidated was because they were filed over a year after this report got distributed).
