What is the name of your state?

Florida

Dear Sir or Madam;

I have a Patent Infringement Issue with a major sporting vehicle manufacturer. This major sporting vehicle manufacturer also owns several other companies as well as many other interests within the industry. My issue is with a patent for a steering system they have taken and used to this day. The issue is worth about $180 million with treble damages bringing it to more than $500 million. I have been trying to work with these people and have only met with treachery over the past 8 years. This attempt to work with them has used up my cash, which was their intent, and I must now rely on a Contingency action. If you have any suggestions as to finding someone that may have interest in representing me, please advise. Understand, please I have money to support myself. I cannot pay monthly fees for expenses. This is not a decision for me; it is a matter of simple mathematics. I am willing to help and work in any way I can, but I have no extra resources.

Thank you for your time and review.What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?

Niro Scavone in Chicago, and Robbins Kaplan in Minneapolis are two firms that I know of that will take patent infringement claims on contingency. I have not worked for or with either firm, so I cannot vouch for their competency, but they are well known in the patent litigation world. Also, there is no guarantee that either will take your particular case -- but it doesn't hurt to ask. Also, I am sure if you google something like "patent infringement contingency" you will find any number of firms that might be willing to take on a patent infringement case on contingency.

Thank you Sir for your prompt, kind and knowledgeable answer. Tried Google with the exact same phrase but figured it wouldn't hurt to go this route as I'm getting a human response. Much appreciated....

Additonal Thoughts on Case to consider

Having been through this before I can offer some insight that will save your firm a great deal of money. There are very few people who know this area as I do. I am considered an expert on the subject. I have prepared claims forms and can offer a clear and concise argument for any “narrow claim language” contained in my patent. My patent is very simple and had no objections from the patent office on submission, no office action needed. This is the key to my case. The infringer was unable to get around the simplicity and is attempting to mask it in a patent in the public domain.

The only thing I wish to have you do is to meet with me before you go into your claim sheets for the firm. I need to show your people the product and cover areas before they start dissecting the claims. I have seen major misunderstanding in two areas. In this regard I can save your firm thousands of dollars that have already been spent. I will then dispense with these points quickly. In the event I am unable to convince your people that will be the
end of the issue, I will thank you, fly home and write my book. I do not wish to waste time or money, nor do you. If your people agree, we can move forward. In any event, to understand how my device works is the key to how they have infringed. The rest is semantics.

In my opinion, as an expert in this area, many people were hurt seriously and many killed because of the time spent engineering around my device. I can offer a time line with letters and emails that clearly show the treachery this industry demonstrates. I have a retired man from the primary governmental agency who will also advise as to what happened. All of this goes to the treble damages. This case needs to get to a jury for a major win. However given the depth of my information, they will have to settle. There are to many personal injury cases that would damage the entire industry. This information will most certainly have them in a settlement position. It is important that you understand that these people will stop at nothing to drag this into obscurity. If the firm fighting them appears to be weak and unwilling to pursue a long court battle, they will drag it out as long as they can. Public knowledge of this issue coupled with a strong offence will win the day.


Thank you in advance for your time.
