Re: Michael - Patent Infringement Notice

["Yates, Todd" <tyates () STMARYTX EDU>]

Michael-

Remarkable justification for limiting the EDUCAUSE lists to those with .edu addresses only.  There are quite a few of 
us who have moved all responses off-list in order not to be farmed for contact information by vendors already, but this 
wins the award.

I would encourage you to forward his response to CNM's legal counsel, as they probably need a good laugh.

Michael,

I think your response was bad form.
I am instructing my lawyers to file the first patent infringement lawsuit against CNM.

Let’s see how much of a bad publicity stunt this is.

You had it right in your first paragraph. Whatever the merits of your patent case (and you will have to forgive my 
skepticism) you have no business interjecting it into this discussion.

This is likely one of those situations where I should just continue to shut my mouth until we are already to act but 
here goes:

My company Valt.X Technologies owns the patents in this area and we intend to enforce our patents in 2012.
Here’s my advice – if you are using Deep Freeze or any VDI - include in your contract that they cover you for Patent 
Infringement.

Valt.X has just won its first public tender in Canada – we own this area and intend to enforce our intellectual 
property rights.

Our position is that Deep Freeze is a blatant copy of Valt.X issued patents and that VDI also infringes our patents – 
we intend to sue all infringers.

We are looking into VDI for all our computer labs. VMware View to be exact with WYSE P20 Zero Clients. Roughly about 
300 or more vm's for all the labs.

What are you doing in situations if a user profile gets hosed up with malware in this vm enviroment?
