So Don....
You started this thread for Space Maintainers. Called it a pissing contest once.
This is no pissing contest. It is to lay out ones ideas on where ones ethics are.
Space Maintainers is a great example of a money whore.
However....I won't use that description again, I find that type of name calling as unconstructive. Humous, of course!! But this ain't humor here, at the moment.
They just happen to be the ones that are a good example of ethics because it's legal.

I'm sorry for you that these guys have embarrassed you. May they fix that I hope.
Great Lakes, as far as your IPC and appliance patent. They just want the bucks. I think you see that clearly from the unveiling of the IPC at the AAO.
That IPC though, awesome idea put to market by you Don. Absoltuely awesome. Like inventing a new can opener.
