Why would any one of us have to bow out to discuss this. It's
ludicrous.
Last I checked - even with the current administration - most of the
bill of
rights is still in tact. Or am I naive?
Andrei is correct about this.
If we begin to discuss the details of particular patents, every member
of this organization becomes at risk for patent infringement should
they design a similar product--knowingly or unknowingly, whether they
have read the mail or not. And this organization--or any professional
organization--should never knowingly support actions that put its
members in legal jeopardy. It is best for all concerned to not engage
in discussion about the particulars of individual patents. Even
knowing the existence of a patent can be legally troubling.
This is the world we live (and work) in.
