"Hi, My Tiff to PDF generator is using libtiff to extract TIFF files, it
uses libtiff and it works for LZW compressed TIFF files.  Am I in any
danger of violating a unisys patent by using this libtiff code?  I've
looked around for info but am still confused about this."

LZW patents in the United States and in other countries have expired.
