Dear Mr. Fisher:
I was pleased to
talk with you today regarding your client, Advent Product
Development (ADP). Before receiving your letter
dated February 23,1999 today, Advent
was just a name on a long list of invention promotion
firms. But receipt of your letter has
piqued my and many other peoples’ interest in APD.
I am anxious to
show inventors the truth about APD. I am ready and
willing to
correct any errors of fact. But your letter was not
at all clear as to what you are asking
for. I am sorry to say that our telephone
conversation did not really help either.
Many people in the
inventor community are collaborating to help steer
inventors to
invention promotion firms who have track records which
demonstrate that the invention
promoter is effective. I invited you to supply such
information during our telephone
conversation today. Frankly I am surprised that you
were unable or unwilling to tell
me exactly what you feel is wrong with my listing of
Advent on the caution page. In fact
you admitted that all buyers of services should exercise
caution in selecting service
providers. That is the message this web page
delivers to inventors.
Since you were
unable to clarify your client’s position, I have
removed their current
listing (one line) on the caution page in favor of
giving them their own web pages. This allows
space for much more information. In the absence of
more specific guidance from you as
to what your client feels is the truth, I have posted
your letter dated 2-23-99 and this
reply on said web site (cite?) so that all interested
parties may interpret your meaning for
themselves. This allows you and your client instant
access to influence readers of the
caution web page.
I was surprised
that you seemed uncomfortable about my sharing our
correspondence
with other interested parties. By sharing such
information I am helping your client
broadcast their views.
So, in the
interest of bringing this matter to a conclusion as
soon as possible, I have
forwarded your letter and this reply to the appropriate
authorities at both the USPTO and
the FTC, so that we all may work together to formulate
policy in regards to invention
promoters.
In addition, I will
forward the correspondence to journalists, and encourage
those
journalists to contact your client. This will give
your client a suitable public forum to
state their position in national publications.
I am looking
forward to both you and your client’s working with
both governmental
agencies and the inventor community to help make our
country’s invention promotion
service providers the best in the world.
