Fight the Patent!

Lots of lawyer talk.

Intresting

You can sorta decipher the legalese and read who has settled and who is still fighting... look at the last entry for a particular company to see the last status.

Fight the Patent!

Very interesting stuff...

Good link I am reading though it

Indeed.
Great find, Brandon!

I didn't come across anything I didn't already know. Do you see any new info there?

4/1/03 5
ORDER STRIKING LODGED Documents from the Record by Judge Alicemarie H. Stotler: documents listed were improperly lodged for LR 11-3.1.1 font too small; IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that documents shall be marked "placed in file and not used" and shall not be considered by Court: Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to Extend Time for Butterballs McFadden to Respond to Plaintiff's Complaint; lodged 03/31/03 (ln) [Entry date 04/02/03]

Yes, additional companies that settled that didn't get any airplay.


Fight the Patent!

Font too small

Their attorney probably watched one too many internet videos.... being so small on the screen and forcing him to sit 2" away from the monitor to get the same effect as his big screen TV.... and probably got used to that and wrote with small fonts.




Fight the Patent!

It's a sad company that decides to make its money by suing other companies.

The link was found by a FightThePatent.com supporter (i didn't want to post their nick to keep it private).... so many people jumping in to find prior art and finding information...it's such a great thing to see people taking time away from their own businesses to join the fight.

Lots of new prior art also found by supporters..haven't posted them up yet, but they look VERY good!

Fight the Patent!

Who is Cryton Communications?

How did Holio.net win?

I would assume from looking at these that the word TERMED means settled.

Like i wrote in my article:
Mo Patents, Mo Money: Making money by licensing patents

http://www.fightthepatent.com/v2/MakingMoney.html


......"This is the new, new, new, new, new, new economy. "


Fight the Patent!

this might be a stupid question but why are all the demands for $0?

It's probably a placeholder, since they don't have specific damages they are asking for.....


Fight the Patent!

I'd like to know too.

Cliff notes for those of you who don't feel like reading through all of them to find the.... gems

"Acacia Media Tech v. Butterballs McFadden"

Be great to listen to that case announced to the court.

FTP - where can I reach you?

ICQ: 52741957

Not necessarily.. I think there was at least one case in there that was moved to a different district *Lightspeed if i'm not mistaken*. I take termed as to mean it's no longer on this particular set of dockets for whatever reason. So, be careful I wouldn't want to say someone settled when they're actually slugging away but in a different venue.

Who owns "Butterballs McFadden" hahahaha i love it

Lightspeedcash is still in the fight

http://corporate.findlaw.com/scripts...%3A2003cv00259

What can I say, the last thing I told Rob Berman was "Lick My Balls" -- I'm dissapointed that is not in the record.

Steve Lightspeed

Hey, FTP, do you have an ICQ I can reach you at? I'd like a quick way to contact you about prior art. I bought some old C64 and Amiga computer books on eBay and as soon as they arrive I'll (hopefully!) be needing to talk to you about my findings.

Hehe, oops. Didn't see this

Some oversight by someone, but atleast you have it entered into the GFY record.

Lightspeed and the other 10 defendants are the true heroes, standing up to patent abuse for their business as well as for all webmasters.

are the dismissed cases where the webmasters settled? what is the reason for a "voluntary dismissal"?

I believe that is where the plantiff dropped the case.. could be because of a settlement or some kind of deal made.


Fight the Patent!

Well, I thought that it had said your case had been moved to a different docket but didn't want to open it back up and look. I have a chronic case of laziness today but I also didn't want your name slung around any more than necessary. I think everyone needs to stick together on this that's taking a stand

A new judge was assigned to the case for all the pending cases... hopefully this new judge will get the cases scheduled so that the first defendant can go to bat.


Fight the Patent!

i would have paid money to hear you tell that cock smoker to lick your balls. i would have later been found ont he ground laughing so hard it hurt.

ya....and since acacia already claims that Lightspeed is infringing, it wouldn't hurt to add on another audio download with a sample of the conversation.




Fight the Patent!

Will Mike Hunt and Ben Dover please report to the court room.




Fight the Patent!

Steve Lightspeed: I would be careful about using that kind of language... imagine if you have to stand in front of the Judge and Jury and you are asked by Acacia's attorney... "Mr Lightspeed, for the record, did you in fact ask Mr. Berman to lick your balls?"

And because we are all about the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth... you of course would have to answer yes...

Then he might say something like "Well, Mr. Lightspeed, ball licking might be something that is acceptable on a daily basis in the world of PORNography.... but in the world outside of porn, ball licking is hardly considered a moral act unless it is between two married and consenting heterosexual people in the privacy of their own home... and even there it should only be happening every five yearsand only on anniversaries. In other words, Mr. Lightspeed, ball licking could hardly be considered a polite proposition or a model of decorum."

Perhaps it would have been better to say "Mr Berman, may I please ask if you would you be so kind as to titillate my scrotal sac with a gentle sucking action with your mouth encompassing both my gonads?"

on the holio case (first one i went to)

NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION by defendant Holio.Net LLC to
strike Immaterial, Impertinent, and Scandalous Matter from plaintiff's Complaint; Motion hearing set for 10:00
5/12/03 (tw) [Entry date 04/18/03]

so apparently acacia is immaterial, impertinent AND says scandalous things in their complaints and responses

yes of course! but actually, several records had the same comments.... the defendants were trying to put up some roadblocks about Acacia's tactics, and i guess the judge overruled...probably because they saw nothing wrong with the "marketing" materials or tactics used.

Fight the Patent!

The devil is in the details when it comes to dealing with Acacia that is for sure...

Since the message was sent thru my attorney, I'm sure he added a bunch of "therefore"s and "whosoever"'s and a bunch of other legalese for me. Fucking lawyers can't write hello in under 4 pages.

thats so they can charge you per word

Thanks !

I am going to send all my traffic to Lightspeed sites!
