-- Challenge Bill Warman's Patent (screen protector) (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=4688)

By now, I'm sure that most of you are aware of Bill Warman's predatory "enforcement" of his alleged "plastic screen protector" patent.

Through the discussion at Mixed: Off Topic
[ http://discussion.visorcentral.com/...TML/000173.html ]

various people wondered how such a simple "invention" could be granted a patent. More importantly, however, countless VisorCentral readers were shocked at Mr. Warman's unethical "enforcement" of the patent, and his constant bullying and harassment of "violators" (i.e. those who sell their extra WriteRights� on eBay...)

Is there anyone here who seriously would consider challenging Mr. Warman's patent?

I think most people here should have figure out long ago that if he wants to be a dumbass we should just let him.

To challenge a patent, you pretty much need a patent attorney. And,needless to say, they aren't cheap.

Unfortunately, that is how the system works. It tends to favor those with the money and power, but so it goes, I suppose.

Why challenge? Best way to deal with this is to make you own. I have a huge problem with Warman's attitude, but I'm also stupified as to why a piece of plastic is $2...

I agree. I think few, if any of us, would want to devote the kind of resources necessary to challenge a patent, regardless of who holds it. Concept Kitchen will clean that mess up.

What we need to do is simply avoid supporting his product. He's a man devoid of moral integrity, and as such, does not deserve our business.
