Hi, To win a game (and be officially declared as winner), one must play it according to its rules.

The main point here is to actually lodge the opposition. All the documents, information and discussions on this list are excellent but they will be useless if nothing is done to "play the game by its rules". >However, if the opposition is not upheld, then the > opposer is liable to pay for the patent applicants' costs in > responding to the opposition. The entire system is stacked in favour of > the aptent applicant, which is wrong. Let me suggest this strategy: You create a foundation or a non-profit organization asap and have it legally registered. This organization (not an individual) must lodge the opposition. After lodging, send me copies of the documents, invoice and bank account info so I can reimburse you the above amount. Then you start campaigns to raise funds asap for information dissemination campaigns and in case you lose the case. You can ask for donations from individuals, groups, make a benefit gala, dinner, etc. Use proven marketing tactics to ignite interest in the case. Keep people talking, not just this list. Create publicity. Expose your opponents in the public. Tear down their facade. Sounds ugly? No. In the battleground there is no room for niceties. I mean it. Elpidio Latorilla
