Re: Random Thought Thread 2.0
While I was just checking my work email...I see this contact/quote request:
Regarding your products use as a process for turning manure (animal waste) into pellets. This process holds a patent, which I am the inventor. Immediate contact is required. Use of your machines for this purpose may put you at risk for a patent violation. Thank you for your time and assistance, your immediate response is required.
This was my bosses (company owner) reply:
Mr. Richey,
I am assuming the patent you are referring to is the patent application 20110162264. If you would identify which claims in particular you are concerned about, we will have our lawyers look into the matter.
Keep in mind that we do not produce commercial pellets of any kind but rather we manufacture the equipment to produce pellets. Also keep in mind that patent infringement litigation is a long and expensive federal process requiring the patent holder to bear the burden of proof of infringement by a preponderance of the evidence.
Please restrict all further correspondence to email or postal mail. Be advised that any phone communication concerning this issue will be recorded and permissible.
Hahahaha, what kind of idiot does this guy think he is?
Seriously? How many people out there are turning manure into pellets? A LOT!
The other part that doesn't make sense: this guys wife contacted our company this past summer and showed great interest in buying a unit from us, and then she stopped replying to my emails :th_scratchhead:
