If he sells one cup of his secrete recipe it could be duplicated very easily. If Monsanto wanted his recipe they would just copy it and blow him out of business.

Really, WOW........

lol Mike, I know it.

Hey Mike we better let KFC & coke cola in on this . lol

[Fusion_power]

The recipes for both Coke and KFC have been public knowledge for 30 or so years. The original coke recipe was published in the Atlanta Constitution Journal back about 1980 or thereabouts. The KFC recipe was duplicated and verified by some chemist about 20 years ago. It is NOT the recipe, it is the mystique that makes Coke and KFC valuable.

To say that all you need is a chemical analysis to duplicate Keith's sub is to say that all you need is grandmas cookie recipe....it just ain't gonna taste the same.

Patents don't protect the little guy from the big guy. The little guy will be driven into bankruptcy before the courts make their decision. Big guys rely on that.

I have a suggestion Ace. If you want to rail against big business go somewhere else, or start your own thread. This thread is a fund raiser for Beesource. Merry Christmas!

Actually, patents are designed to protect the little guy. They are difficult to obtain, but once you have one all it takes is a "cease and desist" letter to get them to stop. It's very effective. And if the courts take too long to make a decision, that's what restraining orders are for Not to mention damages . . .

Oh, and you are talking to a Bankruptcy Attorney who has training in IP (Intellectual Property) Law, including patents as well as their treatment in and development towards bankruptcy. Please don't try to lecture me about what I do for a living.

That's right Derek, your at the top bid at the moment, come'on Johnny, Flyer Jim, others please put in a bid?

Giving is receiving.

[jim lyon]

If I am understanding the rules the only one guaranteed of a winning bid would be the top bidder but folks can still underbid in the hope that some would still be unclaimed when it got down to them?

[Keith Jarrett]

but folks can still underbid in the hope that some would still be unclaimed when it got down to them?

That is correct Jim, also may spit out a few more boxes so that we can rise a sufficient amount of proceeds.

[Keith Jarrett]

Bump, time is almost out.
