If I invented a billion dollar technology and someone copied it without my permission, I would not accept a trillion dollars from a lawsuit.
The only thing I would accept is for the other company to be forced to re-call all their products. Then I would make money by selling the products from my own company. If Rossi's technology has been stolen, I hope he refuses any credit, money, or other compensation. I would also hope he would turn down the nobel prize. I hope his mission in life becomes to stop anyone who has used his technology without permission. ________________________________ From: Jed Rothwell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 9:53 AM Subject: Re: [Vo]:Test day in Greece time noone noone <[email protected]> wrote: Possibility #2 -- A copy cat of Rossi's technology, using his intellectual property without permission.

This would not be a horrible tragedy; it would be an economic windfall for a bunch of lawyers. There would be negotiations and possibly trials. Eventually Defkalion would pay Rossi a large sum of money, the way they originally intended to do. In situations like this, sales continue normally while the lawyers battled it out. People buying the equipment would never know there is a legal battle going on unless they read the business section of the newspapers. All important technology always escapes from the inventor. That is why we have patents. If there is a problem here, it is because either the Patent Office has failed to do their job, or Rossi has not submitted a properly written patent. His previous patents looked invalid to me. - Jed
