As a side note, is there a stupid patent archive somewhere? Where people could post a link to a moronic patent and have others take a look at it. Sort of the Oracle for patents.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but AromaSoft never said that Teapot was written in Java. In fact, it seems to be quite the opposite. The ASL and all the device drivers are definitely written in C and ASM, and as for the rest (SoftCPU, Kernel, TeaVM, etc.), AromaSoft doesn't say either way.
Every mention of Java on the site and in the white paper only refers to TeaPot's ability to natively run Java programs, and not that TeaPot is written in Java.

Actually, there is. http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html. It's the US patent database. After all, aren't all patents stupid??
