Department Of Unsolicited Advice I am writing this in the hopes that someone from SNRS rerads these threads. Lately, as I have been gazing in my chrystal ball, and seeing huge, future success of this company, a nagging thought has entered my mind. There are predators out there in the shape of mult-national companies, who like to swoop down on small companies and steal their lunch. This is easier than doing your own research and they all do it. A small company must then, try to defend their patents. This takes time and money, meanwhile the predators are happy selling stolen merchandise. To advoid this, I suggest that SNRS put this name on their rolladex. Robins Kaplan Miller & Ciresi>>>this law firm is the best patent-infringement law firm in the country. They won a 300 million dollar lawsuit for Honeywell against 12 Japanese patent infringers. They recently beat Hitachi, Siemens, Philips (which settled out of court) and then took the mighty GE up to the Supreme Court and beat them for an 128 million dollar settlement for a little company by the name of Fonar ( an MRI manufacurer) Fonar, at the time of these depradations was a small company like SNRS and without this fine legal help, would have gone down the tubes. So let us not nonchalant this potential problem ala Sen Ted Kennedy (we'll cross that bridge when we come to it) but let us pay attention to the old adage that all of Nannies told us, " A stitch in time, saves nine!!!! **** Disclaimer:::I have no financial interest in the law firm named nor does anyone in my family, but I am eternally greatful that they saved a stock in which I am fully invested in::::the Japanese infringers take out their hari-kari Knives when they see this law firm come into court. I would be interested in hearing from SNRS or anyone on this thread about these comments::::::::nysebob2
