APS-C format - as in the leica X1 - I assume.

No reason to buy the patent at all. As far as I know, the R-mount patent ran out quite a while ago, as did the M-mount patent (see Konica, Voigtländer and Zeiss-Ikon).

If you look further through the patents, you can find all sorts of things, everything from the Leica R3 to the rubber eyecups of Leica binoculars.

maybe there is an X1 sensor in mind


X1 ? I don't understand what you're refering to, crop factor?


'with new lenses and a mount that will accommodate R system and four thirds lenses with adapters'.


I was wondering also if Pana had not bought the patent for the R mount when Leica discontinued its production and sales - there were earlier rumors that Pana was taking a stake in Leica ...

In any case, after the micro 4/3s, the real surprise would be a Mega 4/3 LoL
