I beg to differ... Most here have filtered the idiots who annoy us, out. We
(especially Tim) have been making on topic posts and responding to them. We
still have a couple who insist in talking to Harry's room-mate, but really,
they are easy to ignore too.

So, let me get this straight:

Your *private* lawyer is going to prosecute me in a criminal court in

from your local sheriff, you said your lawyer was "handling" it.

Well, whichever spoofer you are, I don't disagree that flajim and a
"few" others are obsessed with me. But that list also includes Scott
Ingersoll and John Herring. Ingersoll and Loogy are tied as Dumbest
Posters in Rec.Boats, and Herring, of course, is the ranking Rec.Boats
hypocrite.

I don't agree with Tim's point-of-view on most subjects, but I think
he's a perfectly fine fellow. Wayne does nothing for me...he's just a
blowhard, but a harmless one. I do miss Gene and ol' Eisboch.

Now, you can resume one of your other ID's here.

Cute. A dishonest way to try to cut somebody down.



I put my name and "patent" in Google. Returned as number two on the list,
the first being a Richard with a last name spelled differently than mine.

I didn't Google using "Eisboch".

I have bad memories of dealing with patent attorneys. When I sold my
company and the buyer began the due diligence process, two patent
attorneys were the first people I met with. One was a corporate type for
the buyer, the other was a hired consultant. Spent the better part of
two days with them, and finally they left to go do whatever it is that
they do.


What was the bad experience? The exhaustive process? Unfortunately, if you
don't go through that process these days, your patent will either be denied
or can be subverted.


We then went through the (almost 3 month) exhausting process of due
diligence, looking at all our financials, taxes, liabilities, etc. and I
was getting worn out by the whole process. The buyer was a large, public
company and had many resources, including a staff of lawyers, accountants
and marketing types. Any small business owner who goes through this will
understand how grueling the process is and at some point you basically
become committed to the deal, just to get it over with.

The day before the official closing (almost 3 months later) the two patent
attorneys came back with a 3 inch stack of patent copies. They started
going through them, one by one, asking if we built anything like what was
on the patent papers. It was ridiculous. It was like being Ford and the
attorney hands you a patent by Chevrolet and asks if you make anything
similar.

The CEO of the acquiring company was a gruff, tough talking, no-nonsense
type and nobody in his company cherished getting on his radar screen. By
8 pm, the evening before the closing, we were only halfway through the
stack of papers that his patent attorneys had prepared. Exasperated, I
called for a break and told them that I had had enough and one of them
was going to have to call the CEO of their company and tell him the
closing would have to be postponed to a later date because we still had a
pile of papers to go through.

The patent attorneys looked at each other with panic in their faces,
picked up the remaining paperwork and stuffed it into their briefcases.
They then announced that everything was fine, there didn't appear to be
any patent conflicts or infringements to be concerned with and left.

The closing occurred on time the next morning.

Eisboch


It sounds like there's a bunch of missing information, but it's hard to
tell. In any case, you got your stuff done? Good for you.

It's one of the reasons I got out of doing for companies... too much trouble
with engineers/scientists. :)

I have bad memories of dealing with patent attorneys. When I sold my
company and the buyer began the due diligence process, two patent
attorneys
were the first people I met with. One was a corporate type for the
buyer,
the other was a hired consultant. Spent the better part of two days
with
them, and finally they left to go do whatever it is that they do.

We then went through the (almost 3 month) exhausting process of due
diligence, looking at all our financials, taxes, liabilities, etc. and I
was
getting worn out by the whole process. The buyer was a large, public
company and had many resources, including a staff of lawyers,
accountants
and marketing types. Any small business owner who goes through this
will
understand how grueling the process is and at some point you basically
become committed to the deal, just to get it over with.

The day before the official closing (almost 3 months later) the two
patent
attorneys came back with a 3 inch stack of patent copies. They started
going
through them, one by one, asking if we built anything like what was on
the
patent papers. It was ridiculous. It was like being Ford and the
attorney
hands you a patent by Chevrolet and asks if you make anything similar.

The CEO of the acquiring company was a gruff, tough talking, no-nonsense
type and nobody in his company cherished getting on his radar screen.
By 8
pm, the evening before the closing, we were only halfway through the
stack
of papers that his patent attorneys had prepared. Exasperated, I
called
for a break and told them that I had had enough and one of them was
going
to have to call the CEO of their company and tell him the closing would
have
to be postponed to a later date because we still had a pile of papers to
go
through.

The patent attorneys looked at each other with panic in their faces,
picked
up the remaining paperwork and stuffed it into their briefcases. They
then
announced that everything was fine, there didn't appear to be any patent
conflicts or infringements to be concerned with and left.

The closing occurred on time the next morning.

I don't think so.
I had no trouble finding your patent using google.

Cute. A dishonest way to try to cut somebody down.

1. Snarky comments about other posters.

Ah... sorry. Missed the first sentence. That can be a very difficult
situation when the company holds patents. Why do you think it was ridiculous
for the attorneys, who don't know about your business, to ask specific
questions about the documents you gave them? It seems like you weren't that
prepared or were being a bit stubborn, which I found to be typical of people
in your situation. I know it's your "baby" and all that, but sometimes hoops

I'm not sure what the gruff CEO has to do with the patent attorneys'
efforts, but ok. Sounds like you confronted him through them and you got
what you wanted. So, what's your beef?

I am sitting here chuckling at your response. Either you don't read what

Condensed for your understanding:

1. Two day conference with patent attorneys at the *beginning* of a 3 month
due diligence process.
2. Attorneys then leave to do whatever they do.
3. Said attorneys wait until the *day before* the closing to come back to
review a 3 inch thick
stack of patents by others they had dug up to see if there were any
infringments on our part.

By 8 pm we were barely halfway through them with about a 15-20 discussion on

I'm sure they had other priorities. Was it a merger between Exxon and Mobile
or was it, as you said a small business being eaten by a much larger one?
You're likely not their first priority.

That's cool. I can relate. I was a corporate technologist for 40 years,
got lucky and exited stage right.
(Or sometimes left depending on the subject matter). Got involved in a
"retail" business of sorts about 9 months ago and am still adjusting to the
non-logical and fickle personalities of semi-pro and professional musicians.

I have an associate who is a rock and roller by heart (started in the 60's
with a couple of billboard hits) but quickly determined that he and his
family liked to eat. He went to law school and became a trial lawyer which
he did for 30 years before giving up his practice to return to his true love

Interesting fellow .... and probably has one of the finest engineering minds
of anyone I've ever met, combined with a true craftsman's talent.

So, it proves there is hope for all lawyers.

Not counting the PITA's that call you during your busiest moments.

Very clear. I assume you no longer practice.

I don't do corporate stuff any more. I don't the engineering at companies
patent filings, and I don't do acquisition investigations, such as what
you when through.

I do individuals' patent work on a very part-time, very particular (my
particular) basis. I find it much more rewarding. I own a full-time,
non-related retail business with a few part-time employees.


That's cool. I can relate. I was a corporate technologist for 40 years,
got lucky and exited stage right.


I felt like I had to get out or lose my soul. It was the right time
soul-wise and financially.

(Or sometimes left depending on the subject matter). Got involved in a
"retail" business of sorts about 9 months ago and am still adjusting to
the non-logical and fickle personalities of semi-pro and professional
musicians.


Musicians are a special breed... my ex dabbled in it (semi-pro). He was
obsessed to say the least with it. But, we're still good friends.

I have an associate who is a rock and roller by heart (started in the 60's
with a couple of billboard hits) but quickly determined that he and his
family liked to eat. He went to law school and became a trial lawyer
which he did for 30 years before giving up his practice to return to his
true love of building fine acoustic guitars.

Lawyers can be ok from time to time.
