Dear Dougie, a little Due Diligence on your part would help your credibility. It seems that in your haste to WARN the poor uninformed investors about the dangers of investing in BII (whose stock by the way went up over 300% since you started your crusade) you overlooked the following:

This patent is directed at BUYERS automatically soliciting SELLERS for a
product or service from a multiplicity of prospective vendors. This is similar to a buyer posting a request for car dealers bid on his specifications.

ABSTRACT
The present invention is a method and apparatus for effectuating bilateral
buyer-driven commerce. The present invention allows prospective buyers of
goods and services to communicate a binding purchase offer globally to
potential sellers, for sellers conveniently to search for relevant buyer
purchase offers, and for sellers potentially to bind a buyer to a contract
based on the buyer's purchase offer. In a preferred embodiment, the
apparatus of the present invention includes a controller which receives
binding purchase offers from prospective buyers. The controller makes
purchase offers available globally to potential sellers. Potential sellers
then have the option to accept a purchase offer and thus bind the
corresponding buyer to a contract. The method and apparatus of the present
invention have applications on the Internet as well as conventional
communications systems such as voice telephony.

Fortunately, when Dougie speaks, NOBODY listens!

PS Dougie, I believe that if you go over it will give you a much better perspective!
