Zeev: << Does anyone knows who was the original assignees (and who are the inventors) and under what circumstances these reassignments were carried out? >> The apparent date of the re-assignments is July 17, 1998, following the Trooper judgement, so I imagine the circumstances are - panic!?<g> I believe the original assignee was Thermo Tech Waste Systems Inc. and the inventors were R.Branconnier, D.Cummings and R.Jackman, the same people to whom the patents have recently been re-assigned.

Zeev: I copied this from the Yahoo thread. What do you think? << Just some thoughts on the re-assignment (theft?) from Thermo Tech of the Thermo Tech patents, to Rene Branconnier and Dan Cumming and Robert Jackman. The shareholders are the owners of the company. They elect a Board of Directors to look after their interests. The Board names a President and CEO who reports to them. The Mark II patents have been developed at company expense. They should therefore belong to the company, which in turn belongs to the shareholders. Now if employees of the company act contrary to the interests of its owners, the shareholders, then the directors are responsible (liable) to the shareholders. The directors should enforce action to rectify the problem. Therefore, does it not follow that the owners/shareholders should undertake a letter writing campaign to these directors to demand that the patents which belong to the company be reassigned forthwith? Any legal beagles out there who know something about company director's liabilities? Perhaps we should get those directors' names and addresses posted up here and encourage every shareholder to write to the directors to express their disgust at this recent situation and demand that they take action to have the patents re-assigned to the company. No company's future should be at the mercy and frivolous whim of any of its employees >>
