The pen technology is from Anoto, but Adapx has been working the software since 1999.

Bentley have had something like this in their labs for the past couple of years (I believe it was descriibed at a recent BE). Their implementation, at least, used microdot patterns inserted into prints to tell the pen where it was.

I wonder who holds the patent?
