So, can you confirm that Julian Brown from the European Patent Office
is the same as the one of this paper:

Who else would he be? I wasn't aware there was a controversy.
Jed, haven't you read Rossi's comment? He's claiming that Brown is an imposter.
Of course, Rossi claims all kinds of things, eh?
This reminds me of the joke about a person who says Shakespeare did
not write his plays, it was another man of the same name.
That's an obvious preposterousness, because "Shakespeare did not
write his plays" specifies the name no more than Shakespeare. But
could there be two people named Shakespeare? Perhaps. There certainly
could be two people named Julian Brown, I think I found more than two
in a search. I'd think you might have prior contact with Julian
Brown, physicist, associated with or previously associated with
Oxford, right? You should be able to tell, or at least you'd have a good idea.
He might be a little skittish, now, if that request to take down the
blog note actually came from him!
