Hewlett Packard Co. settles China
ServiceMark infringement suit. HP,
reported on • March
18, 2010 -- that
it had reached settlements with three
companies that have been accused of
infringing on the printer company's
patents for ink
cartridges.
•• •
HP filed a complaint with the U.S.
International Trade Commission in
September, seeking to ban imports of ink
cartridges by 11 companies.
•• •
Two of those companies &emdash;
InkPlusToner.com of Canoga Park, Calif.,
and Comptree Inc. of City of Industry,
Calif., have agreed to stop the imports
and paid HP an undisclosed sum. HP expects
to reach a similar agreement with Smartone

Zhuhai Gree Magneto-Electric Co. of
China has asked an administrative law
judge to end the commission's
investigation after agreeing to cease
importing these ink
cartridges.

A default judgment was entered
against the remaining seven companies:
Mipo International Ltd. of Hong Kong,
Mextec Group Inc. of Miami, Fla., and five
Chinese companies, Shanghai Angel Printer

Jingjie Imaging Products Co. Ltd., Tatrix
International and Ourway Image Co.
Ltd.
•• •
HP said it expects the commission
to rule in favor of banning the
importation of these goods from the
companies.
•• •
HP's ink business has long been a
cash cow, only recently being supplanted
as HP's most profitable business by its
services division. HP's printer and ink
division had 2 1/2 times the operating
profit as the personal computer division
in the last fiscal year, even though the
PC group's revenue was higher.
•
Hewlett-Packard says it has resolved
several patent violation
complaints filed against manufacturers of
compatible inkjet cartridges.panies.Last
September, the tech giant--arguably best
known as a printer maker--had filed its
latest complaint with the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC).
•• •
HP at that time roported that
several makers of cartridges for use in
inkjet printers were infringing on HP
patents by importing and selling their
products in the United States. Following
an investigation by the ITC, 11 different
companies were found to have violated
patents related to HP's 02 inkjet
cartridges.
•• •
Among the 11 companies charged with
patent infringement, InkPlusToner.com and
Comptree Ink reached settlements with HP.
Both have paid HP an undisclosed amount in

HP added that it expects to reach a

The ITC also approved the request
of another company, Zhuhai Gree

/// • As for
•
106Google, and its China problem will it
eventually wear off?
• •
Google reported -- that it would
delay rolling out in China mobile
applications that run on Android phones
after its Chinese partners came under
government pressure to pull out of deals
with Google.
•• •
Access to Google's Hong Kong search
site has been spotty. Google responded to
mounting concerns of business users of
Gmail and other Google services with a
blog post that offered some technical
solutions that would allow business users
in mainland China to access a corporate
network offshore, similar to what other
businesses do.
•• •
The company
acknowledged that China could block access
to those services at any time. It has set
up a dashboard on its website displaying
which services are accessible and which
ones are being blocked or partially
blocked.
•• •
"My concern is that
lots of Google's mobile services are based
on search," said Kevin Wang, director of
China research for iSuppli Corp. "Now we
don't know if we'll still have their
search engine in
China."
•• •
As long as the
search engine is accessible, Google will
be positioned to capture a growing share
of mobile advertising, analysts said,
noting that the company's strategy is to
get as many Web-enabled phones as possible
into the hands of
consumers.
•• •
That requires
driving costs down for such devices --
known as smart phones because they combine
the features of a regular phone and a
computer.
•• •
Google offers its
platform for free to pass savings on to
developers and trump competitors such as
Microsoft, which charges a licensing fee
to adopt its cellphone
software.
•• •
The company also
made Android an open-source system to
allow manufacturers and mobile providers
to modify the platform as they see
fit.
•• •
China's leading
telecommunications company, China Mobile
Ltd., already has outfitted a line of
third-generation, or 3G, signal devices
named
OPhones.
•• •
China's two other
state-run telecommunications companies,
China Unicom and China Telecom, also have
included Android-based phones in their
strategies to attract users of smart
phones, though to a lesser
extent.
•• •
Wireless data usage
continues to rise. The association counted
more than 257 million data-capable devices
in circulation at the end of 2009,
compared with 228 million a year earlier.
Carriers saw revenues from data services
jump 25.7% year over year, to more than
$22
billion.
•• •
Total wireless
service revenues increased slightly, to
$77 billion from $75 billion. Industry
analysts have said that carriers may soon
introduce new pricing plans, including
tiered pricing for data users, because
revenues are not keeping pace with data
consumption.

- Apple vs. Taiwan - Apple Sues Taiwan
smart-phone maker for Service Mark
infringement.
•••
Everyone knows when the Wireless
Telephone®™© Service Marks
were first introduced to the world in
1902," says WiTEL©™©
spokesman, Mark Anderson. "It was 'A
First' for anything and everything
that looks like a telephone using an
antenna to transmit and receive EMW
signals."
•••
Just imagine the surprised look on the
faces of onlookers during the public
demonstrations in 1902. Two NBS
WiTEL®™© phones were linked
and connected together with two WT-phone
numbers. A WiFi187 "hot spot" was
created by his aerials grounded in the
earth. "No matter if it's a 'Cell
Phone', 'Mobile Phone', or
'iPhone', it's still a Wireless
Telephone®™©," says
Anderson.
•••
When Apple first introduced its iPhone in
2007, not only did it prove up the
original NBS WiTEL®™©
designs by its inventor, N.B.
Stubblefield, but according to the numbers
from the Cupertino, Calif., company Apple
has sold more than "40 million units.
•••
Mark Anderson, of PSI
WiTEL©™© said,
"the
accused copy-cat'r of the iPhone was
HTC, a Taiwanian company that produces the
Nexus One phone."
*Take2).
Apple alleges in their (January 5,
2010) action, -- that HTC Nexus, had
designed and uses the Android operating
system to deceive consumers. Google Inc.
endorsed the HTC product and is now
selling the WiTEL®™©
Nexus-Android unit directly to
consumers.
 •••
The Bratz Doll $$$ payoff was big news in
2009. Troy Cory, CEO of the NBS
WiTEL®™© Trust, and
co-author of the books, 'Bank of America,
The Tortfeasors' -- and 'Disappointments
Are Great -- Follow The Money', loves the
suit. He says, "it might end up like - the
Barbie vs. Bratz Doll case. Mattel owning
MGA Entertainment, and all of their
Service Marks. As one can see, the
copy-cat'tor, became a caper.

•2010 - The
WiTEL®™© Service Mark
Lawsuit Explosion /
This Year -- "It's An Mobile Patent
Lawsuit Explosion," writes Nick Bilton in
a New York Times headline. In today's
world of "Stealing" the Service Marks
®™© owned by 100-year old
organizations like NBS
WiTEL®™© - 1898 and Edison,
is a big legal Game. The best way to stop
the "Stealing" of WiTEL®™©'
intellectual property rights is to SUE,
with a Capital "S."
•••
"And that's exactly what Apple, along with
a few other metaphors are doing for us
right now," says Anderson. Play a simple
melody, with lovable sexy legal words,
then monetize it by giving the Suit a
'Look-Listen -- iPhone
WiTEL®™© look."
•••
"We can sit by and watch competitors steal
our patented inventions, or we can do
something about it. We've decided to do
something about it," Apple Chief Executive
Steve Jobs said in a statement. "We
think competition is healthy, but
competitors should create their own
original technology, not steal ours."
"The U.S. Government Created EMW -
MONEY FACTORY."
•••
The quotes from Steve Jobs were
about the same words used by the U.S.
attorney general in the Kinsbury
Commitment of 1910. Just before World
War I commenced, "the commitment became a
"Money Factory for AT&T, GE, and
governments."
•••
Not only did the regulatory seizure take
place in the U.S.A., but in Europe. The
most important elements of wireless
telephony, were taken from the author, and
inventor of the Service Marks, by NBS
Wireless Telephone®™©.
After the regulatory seisure of both, the
EMW portion of "Telephony" and
"Telegraphy", they were reassigned to
AT&T, and several other Telecom
monopoly's" -- says Anderson.
•••
According to the Apple recent filings, the
Taiwan company violated patents include
unlocking mechanisms, power conservation
efforts, touch-screen scrolling, scaling
and rotating capabilities. Apple is
seeking monetary damages and an injunction
that would prevent HTC from using, selling
and marketing products breaching the
patents in the U.S.
• Lawsuits - "As An
Investment?"
•••
"It should be pointed out," says Anderson,
"that today's Service Mark plaintiffs are
having a heyday. Their filings are based
on the words, WiFi-187, WiMAX-187, and
"seamlessly." Advancing a land line -
online wired system to a wired-wireless
antenna tower system is big business.
•••
As a result companies that only buy and
sell Service Marks, (include trademarks,
patents, and copyrights) are taking the
"seamlessly" WiTEL®™©
efforts serious. They plan to win big
bucks from established online systems.
•••
"But, continues Anderson, "what most of
those online firms, and Telecom switching
to the wireless industry have foregotten,
to become a real Wireless
Telephone®™© operator, they
too must apply, and receive for a
WiTEL®™© license from NBS
WiTEL®™©."
•••
As for "patent trolls," Eric Von Hippel, a
professor of technological innovation at
M.I.T.'s Sloan School of Management, says,
"if companies entered a litigious dispute
"they would usually come to an agreement
to simply share each other's patents." But
he said a new genre of patent lawsuits,
brought on by what he calls "patent
trolls," had changed the nature of the
disputes. These companies have no interest
in using the patents, Mr. Von Hippel said,
but instead hope to reap large sums of
money from the lawsuits themselves.
•••
Bilton in his NY Times article, reported
that, "at first it looks as if we're in
the middle of a patent lawsuit Super Bowl
party." Nearly every large mobile phone
player -- with the exception of Microsoft,
Palm and, so far, Google -- has recently
been involved in some sort of patent
litigation regarding mobile
technologies.
•••
"Sampling any one of the many lawsuits now
underway, is a great study," says Troy
Cory. Within the last year, for example,
Cybersitter sued both China, Taiwan, and
Japan based on Berne Convention standards.
Apple was sued by the Taiwanese company
Elan Microelectronics over alleged
infringement of touch-screen patents.
Nokia went on a lawsuit spree, suing
Apple, Samsung, LG and a variety of other
mobile handset companies. Kodak sued
several companies over patents related to
its digital-imaging technology.
•••
Although Service Mark ®™©
litigation is not new in todays hitech
world - "the law-suits surrounding the
WiTEL®™© wired-wireless
mobile landscape are," says Texas
attorney, Charles Portz.
•••
Legal experts have not explained what the
difference between the effects, elements,
and number code system of a mobile
WiTEL®™© Service Mark. For
most, mobile technology is still in its
infancy and these large Telecom companies
are trying to stake their claim to the
future of computing NBS
WiTEL®™© phone numbers for
NBS WiTEL®™© without telling
them. CLICK

The lawsuits were filed with both the U.S.
International Trade Commission and the

HTC considers it "too premature to

113.09iiNetNeutralityRule
/ September 21, 2009 / FCC Ensuring
Net neutrality. Julius Genachowski, the
new FCC chairman is right to want new
rules that would keep service providers
from limiting selected data traveling
through their networks.
•• •The
FCC took a tentative stab at the issue in
2004, when then-Chairman Michael Powell
announced four crucial (4
Freebies) "Internet Freedoms":
the ability of Internet users to access
any legal content, software or services
online, and to connect to the Net through
any compatible device. Genachowski laid
out two more: Broadband providers
should not
discriminate against particular websites
or applications, nor conceal how they
manage data. He also said that the
commission should translate these
principles into formal rules rather than
leaving them in legal limbo.
•• •Lobbyists
for phone and cable TV companies argue
that there's little evidence of ISPs
playing unfairly or violating Powell's
four freedoms. Yet when the FCC moved to
stop Comcast from surreptitiously
interfering with a legal file-sharing
application last year, Comcast sued,
claiming the commission had no power to
enforce the principles. It's paradoxical
that the government should have to
regulate the Internet to preserve its
unregulated essence. But with so little
competition in broadband service, the
major phone and cable companies have the
power and the incentive to stop worthy but
disruptive innovations in the name of
"managing congestion." The FCC should set
clear rules that enable ISPs to keep data
flowing from all legal services and
applications, not just favored ones.

the telecommunications and the cable
companies that control both land-line and
wireless access to the Internet argue that
some customers who download large amounts
of data, such as a continuous flow of
movies, can jam their networks.
Regulations that prevent the companies
from restricting such bandwidth hogs, they
contend, would hamper their networks, harm
innovation and delay upgrades.
•• •The
debate centers on so-called network
neutrality principles that the FCC has
been using for four years to prevent
telecom companies, such as AT&T Inc.

restricting access to websites and other
online services.

permanent rules and expand them to prevent

VRA To Release New WebPlay
vContent
 å•••
Universal City, CA -- March 2010 /
Video Record Albums of America, (VRA
TelePlay) announces the release of more
than 100 new CD and DVD volumes of
vContent for WebPlay sales, that include
the license for RadioPlay.
•••
Each CD and DVD features musical stylings
from the Troy Cory Show, including Troy's
vMusic Stage Concerts performed in the
U.S., China, England, Germany - EU --
since 1968. His TV-shows went into
syndication in 1972.
•••
Mark Sovol, spokesman for VRA, stated that
"included in the WebPlay package . . . is
the Show's original "historical" concert
footage, "that helped inch in" the open
the door policy of China in the 80s. The
acceptance of both the NBS Wireless
Telephone®™© system, and
music compositions utilizing a U.S.
Service Mark -- is a product of the
Shows.
•••
VRA, founded in 1972, by the NBS
WiTEL®™© organization,
predicted the "then new" up and coming
lazar disk phenomenon, (DVDs) -- that
would revolutionize the distribution of
the vContent business. By 1992, NBS
WiTEL®™© had three major
digital studios, and VRA TelePlay
distribution points pumping out vContent
for BBC RadioPlay, Cinema Prize,
A&M, and Warner Bros.
recording artists. Linda Ronstadt, Rod
Stewart, Mel Carter, Jackson Browne, Randy
Meisner, Tom Petty, Jeffery Osborne, and
TCS-Ambros Seelos, . . are
just a few of the Vocalist that created
their popular MTVs at Troy's Vine Street
Video Center - Hollywood.

slightly more quickly, at 5.5% a year to
reach $617 billion. the fastest-growing
region will be Asia Pacific, ramping up at

Wireless Telephone®™©
Organization, (WiTEL®™©)
said, "Not only did our 1992, and 2000 NBS

the effects of the assigment of coded

"I've been a reader of Editor &

would never open, its employees drove the
company to make sure it carried through on
its grand design.
•••
"It was because of [the employees]
that we got here, and the promise of
12,000 people that wanted to work hard to
provide for their families," Murren said.
"It was that promise -- that we didn't
want to let them down -- that got us
here."
••••
Aria's rooms, along with those at
CityCenter's Mandarin Oriental and Vdara
hotels, increase room capacity on the Las
Vegas strip 8.5%, UBS Investment Research
analyst Robin Farley said.
•
MGM Mirage owns the most casinos on the
Strip, but Murren believes CityCenter will
help, not hurt, the company's other
resorts.
••••
Competitors worry that CityCenter will
force them to lower rates to keep rooms
filled. But Murren and other MGM Mirage
officials predict CityCenter will help Las
Vegas as a whole, spurring visitation and
providing a catalyst for long-term
prosperity.
 •••
"This is really 21st century Las Vegas,"
said architect Cesar Pelli, whose team
designed Aria. "This is really setting up
very high standards that will be very hard
to match -- but I hope they will try."

December
11, 2009 / The LA TIMES REPORT ON THE --
massive CityCenter complex on the Las
Vegas Strip, set to open officially next
week, is a blast from the very recent
past.
•• •
Costing
over $8.5 billion, designers including
Daniel Libeskind, Norman Foster, David
Rockwell, Cesar Pelli and Rafael Vinoly
and a staggering 18 million square feet of
space inside six towers and a Strip-front
shopping mall, the development is a
fitting coda to the decade of celebrity
architecture and overextended real-estate
mania from which we've just emerged.
•
CityCenter's
true theme is leverage. Ranking as the
largest private development in American
history, big enough to fill the tallest
building in Los Angeles, the U.S. Bank
Tower, roughly a dozen times over, the
complex is a palace -- a series of
connected palaces, actually -- for the age
of towering debt and easy credit. They
should have put Alan Greenspan's face on
the poker chips.

"Checking
out the goods, products, and services
related attached to my grandfather's
WiTEL®™© inventions at the
2008 annual CES show in Las Vegas, has
been my pet project since 1992," says
author, performer, Troy Cory, and founder
of the Troy Cory Show.
•
The
Word EPONYMOUS.
•••
When
quized as to why men names a good,
products or services after themselves,
Troy cxplains the word, "eponymous." THE
GREEK WORD eponymos, from epi- "upon" +
onyma. "The word is used when a personal
name is giving to personal services," --
(like Charlie Rose Show, The Troy Cory
Show, and the initials NBS, the acronyms
for the elements and effects of Nathan B.
Stubblefield's
WiTEL®™©).
••• The
PowerMat and Row22 are eponymos. They are
just two items named after existing
products. I found them most interesting,
becausehe PowerMat was a take off on
Stubblefields, "All Green Earth Battery"
(a non - fossil fuel technology) patented
in 1898.
••• The
only thing missing was the iron rod RF
aerial, that made the WiFi induction unit
part his "Telephone-del-Green" system. The
®™© metal coil and mesh EMW
conglomeration, not only emitted RF
signals to help power his batteries, but
its firewire effect, (FiWi) caused the EMF
to modulated the amplitude of the signal
to send voice through space, via his WiTEL
WiFi WiMAX 187 network.
