HÃ¥kan Lans

Anders Håkan Lans ( born November 2, 1947 in Enskede ) is a Swedish engineer and inventor.

He invented the color graphics processor (U.S. Patent 4,303,986 Data processing system and apparatus for color graphics display) and the graphics tablet.

He also invented the multiple access methods STDMA (Self organizing Time Division Multiple Access), which eg Fashion finds use in 4 different radio systems Automatic Identification System and VDL.

He spent the last ten years, with a patent dispute to its computer graphics. Some companies such as Compaq, Gateway, and Hewlett Packard had not paid royalties and infringed the patent. He complained then as a private person because of patent infringement. The defendants countered that the patents are assigned to his company, Uniboard AB, and he lost the case.

He also owns the company GP & C Systems International AB.
