At the very least there don't seem to be any patents titled 'perceptually based downscaling of images'.
I could try to see if there's any way to contact them ask them for the patent number (if there even is one), although legally, I don't have to. In fact, I don't gain any legal advantage by making myself aware of any potential patents at this point.

Sounds good to me. So would it make sense to include your algo into this weekend's madVR build?
BTW, does your algo ring?
