Well one good thing is that this is moving into a formal intelligent arena where the postulations and pomposities of the peanut gallery will not be heard before the judge. Just real experts working with real data. It’s ridiculous to suggest that the people who wrote that very clean and clear set of legal claims are fools, that they don’t know the ropes, and have not done their homework with the data with competent help. The idea that some ‘license HVAC or otherwise’ is what defines the intellect to be able to process the simple energy data on the mega E-Cat is simply preposterous. In the court room the qualification of the ‘expert’ witnesses will be beyond reproach. The proof of the E-Cat data one way or the other is a days work for the court. It may take a week to beat the IP and license bits into what they really mean. All in all a trivial case to adjudicate.
I predict that as Rossi stays the course he will discover that IH will simply evaporate, unless they pay up and play nice. He is standing on firm very much higher ground and it will be trivial for him to carry on independently of IH which is likely what this action has already revealed he must do. I know from personal experience as an inventor with the VC world in such IP matters that it is a trying exercise to enforce agreements and my sympathy is with Rossi. I will help him however possible. His 350 day demo under the terms he performed it is an outstanding reference for both the man and his technology. This smacks of the typical VC vs inventor game where the VC’s are sure that the inventor is a schmuck at business… clearly Rossi is no such business schmuck, his history should clearly prove that. No one seems to like the idea of a guy like Rossi who can effectively wear both inventor and businessman hats well. The commentary about raising the questions about Rossi’s character are a perfect example of Troll behavior… read this fine piece on Trolls and check the mirror http://sciencecommunicationmedia.com/constructively-dealing-with-trolls-in-science-communication/ From: Jed Rothwell [mailto:jedrothw...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 6, 2016 5:57 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Copy of Rossi's civil complaint Russ George <russ.geo...@gmail.com <mailto:russ.geo...@gmail.com> > wrote: That is a very straight legal case Rossi reveals that points to the failure of IH to honor its contract. Rossi is clearly going to win this unless IH pays up the $89 million. Only if: 1. Rossi has not misrepresented the contracts; and 2. Penon's report has merit. I know nothing about 1. Regarding 2, I have not seen the report, but I have doubts about Penon's abilities. Rossi's previous tests, including the 1 MW test in Italy, were terrible. Very sloppy. Full of holes that could easily have been fixed. So I do not trust his technical judgement. As I said here before, if you are a licensed HVAC engineer and you do things by the book, you will get the right answer. But Penon is not licensed and he seems incompetent. Rossi is clearly incompetent, in ways that I and many others such as the people from NASA pointed out. Unless and until we see this report we cannot judge, but I would not rule out a mistake or even fraud. It is impossible to judge the technical merits of this argument without a careful examination of the Penon report. You might need to see more data than that. - Jed
