schestowitzI suggest you contact Broesder <Brett.Broesder@ketchum.com>, whom I spoke to back when he was trying to set me up for an interview with the OIN's CEO regarding a "Defensive Publication" initiative.May 13 12:59
schestowitzIf you can spare some time, I would love to hear more about how Intellectual Ventures operates behind the scenes as it's a secretive process which is silently being used to extort billions. They are creating cartels where people's ability to create products is impeded by these NPEs, gatekeepers who do nothing but hoard, exploit, and intimidate. These companies will never be anyone's friend and they prey on those who think otherwise.May 13 12:59

schestowitz>> But the truth is not on their side...that is why that iPhone clone company "Meizu" said just 2 weeks ago they plan to start selling their clones in the USA...and they even plan to open a factory in California near Apple!   All that after being shut down by Apple last October.  The "reversal of fortune" for "Meizu" is entirely in the fact that they now know my story, and therefore the ramifications on Apple's ability to stop them May 13 13:04
