07/30/2005: "Corporate Communications 101"

Jamie tells me that the boyz at Wayport have sent me another one of their lawyer letters, demanding that I sign some patent application that they've expanded to cover known prior art, and informing me that it is my duty to do so without any renumeration for my time spent reviewing the application, etc.

(I explained to them several weeks ago (when they FedEx'ed the first one), that I'm not in Hawaii, so if they think they're giving me notice, they have another thing coming. I did invite them to call my cell phone, and I would discuss the situation with them. They haven't callled.)

With that in-mind, I hereby assign the entire executive management group at Wayport this short lesson in corporate communications.

Dear Wayport,

Of course I'm perfectly willing to accomodate your request.

Let's set up a phone call with your lawyers asap - i'm sure we'll be able to work something out - how does that sound?

i look forward to working with you on this!
