No one "took" it from me. I didn't get it, not that it would have been

The idea had to do with certain technology in an image processing

Certainly, if I (or my company) had gotten the patent first, it'd have
enhanced my success at the cost of the other company. The patent number? 
Um, this was _years_ ago. I can hardly remember my home telephone#.
