THIS IS A POST EVERYONE SHOULD READ!!!!!
MR. PACKER, PRESIDENT OF COII, IN RESPONSE TO MY EMAIL RESPONDS TO CONCERNS REGARDING PATENTS:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Curtis
I appreciate your interest in CTI. As you have correctly observed, CTI's product is different from other equipment on the market. I can appreciate your interest in a comparison of our technology to others available or being developed.
As you know, there are a number of other technologies that are directed at solving the issues of better detection of Breast cancer. Some are radiological based (digital mammograms, for example), others use ultrasound or lasers. Others use various forms of heat detection including heat sensitive chemical patches and infrared cameras.
I am aware of these other technologies and the companies developing them. Their efforts do not diminish the contribution that I believe CTI will make in the field. We routinely track their progress. Each technology has inherent advantages and disadvantages and each company has strengths and weaknesses. They also track us. We are frequently the subject of what can be best described as "fishing" expeditions seeking the details of our developments.
CTI has developed a number of key breakthroughs from our ten years of research and our clinical experience. These breakthroughs are at the heart of how we configure and apply our technology. A description of how we are different from anything else on the market would essentially be a roadmap for our competitors. That, obviously, would not be in the interest of the company or our shareholders.
We have taken extensive measures to protect our developments. This includes patents, copyrights and other protections. We are presently preparing other patent applications. Again, a description of what we have chosen to patent, or otherwise protect, could also give a competitor insight into those items we feel are critical. Although much of this information will eventually become public knowledge, it is not in our interest to accelerate that process at this time.
Again, I appreciate your interest in and support of CTI. As you know, we are limited in what we can say right now because we are in a securities registration period. I trust that you understand why, even when those restrictions are lifted, we will continue to limit discussion in a few key areas .
Sincerely,
David Packer, President
Computerized Thermal Imaging
