Remember this article? [1] I received the following private message from a user here at TechJapan: Hello I am inventor of USA patent number 6152829,this patent explains the diffusing system for smells in multimedia matching the scene on the screen,I was aware of french pirates but learnt from your article even japanese have joined hands, I want you to put my comments in your article.They both are pairates of my invention.The details of my patent can be verified at www.uspto.gov [2] in the patent number search type the patent number and read the details yourself. F---K these wealthy pirates of individual inventors,I have to just say for them is SHAME SHAME AND SHAME. As you can see, something quite fishy is going on here. The user doesn't appear to be kidding - the patent number entered on the USPTO site returns these results [3]. So what's going on? Frankly, I don't know either. I'm not a lawyer, and even if I were, I doubt I would know how to deal with international patent infringement. Does anyone have advice for this user? Send me a private message or email, and I'll forward it his way. I'd rather not disclose which TechJapan user it is, for privacy reasons. |
