My money is on empty threat too. If he had a real case, he'd have "come harder" than he did (i.e., you'd have gotten a letter from an attorney, at least) Best

Best of luck, bud. Don't let it distract you too much. :)
- deadsy 15y agoFiling a patent doesn't mean anything at all. If the patent issues AND the claims read against your practice AND the filing date predates your practice of the invention then he could reasonably claim infringement. Sending an email to someone simply because you have filed is amateurish. The guy sounds like an idiot.
- throwaway16189 15y agoIt was like "I am the CEO of blah, we just filed a patent..." stuff like that. I should have realized this sooner, that if it was indeed a real challenge from someone with actual meaning they would have come with lawyers, and not some guy claiming to be a CEO of somewhere. Guess I got the jitters too quickly. I feel better now though :)
