So is flying to Silicon Valley per an invite from Google regarding your blood/sweat/tears/dreams to discuss supposedly buying your app/technology only to then be baited by them in the meeting for your secret sauce which you divulge because this is your dream ... once divulged they kick you out and say the race is on. Is that ethical... moral... just? That's what happened to me in April 2013 when I was invited and met with Motorola/Google ATAP(https://ryanspahn.com/my-google-NDA-experience.html https://ryanspahn.com/my-google-NDA-experience.html) re: my dream/blood/sweat/tears. Also they recently were awarded a patent for the exact same thing I created/met them about(https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-patent-speaker-m... https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-patent-speaker-m...). Don't be evil ... HA

Your blog says they decided not to use the tech after talking to you… Also could you link the patent? The above link is dead.

  Think this was the link: https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-patent-speaker-mesh-network/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-patent-speaker-m... Edit: after reading the article I have very little sympathy for OP. Samsung clearly developed their technology without you, and Google was rewarded a patent 5 years after meeting you. Which likely means you didn't even file an affordable provisional patent.

    No we filed our provisional before the meeting and later filed our non provisional that is slowly making its way thru the patent office due to resources.

  Ummm yes they did not include SpeakerBlast/audio sync between phone capabilities into the Moto X. Yet they sure as hell got patents for it!

For me the worst thing was how they treated us so wrongly.. kicked us out and said, "The race is on." Obviously our work had value to them as they patented it. We do not have any high powered connections to Google and if you don't this is what they will do to the little innovator guys/girls. An invite from a Fortune 500 without any high powered connections is an invitation to get kicked in the face and they say that's how it goes. But no that's not how it should go!
