Fight The Patent Foundation ("FTPF") is looking for pledges, not taking any money yet. The pledge goes towards the goal of reaching $250,000.

Once this happens, i will form the 501c3 non-profit organization.

The charter is very much like ACLU, but focused on patents.

FTPF will help find prior art and convince experts to come forward to testify in a patent abuse case, and to be compensated not by paying them money, but by donating to their favorite charity in their name (ie. pay it forward).

FTPF will also be raising additional donation money from mainstream to build up its own warchest so that it can do things like help pay for defense attorneys for companies that want to fight, but may not have enough resources to do so.

FTPF will also challenge patents at the USPTO by asking petitioning to get patents reviewed and present new prior art evidence with its own team of patent attorneys.


A pledge to FTPF helps to reach the initial goal to get this unique organization working.. one that extends my current efforts to fight against patent abuse cases that affect all businesses.

Acacia is just one company, there are so many more, and some patent infringement claims may come from WITHIN the adult industry.

Fight the Patent!

I have a problem with this. You basically just stopped someone who was ready to donate to IMPAI with your currently bogus foundation.

Why try to compete with IMPAI for the same money (because it is the same money)? You keep saying that you are trying to help them, but the more I see you post, the more you just seem to be after the attention.

Setting up a solid basis to fight frivolous patent is a good idea; Hijacking every Acacia like you are doing is not.

You have a good idea and seem to be a good person, but the way you are "piggy-backing" on the effort of the IMPAI group is shameless.

Get a grip, than Keep Fighting the Patent.
