Patriot, the Untold Story....

A lurid tale of innovation and deception. A true story of one megalomaniac’s desire to dominate the microprocessor world by any means possible. Starring Jack Palance as Dan Leckrone, the self-absorbed maniacal lawyer who would stop at nothing to own the patent on water. Also starring Tim Conway as Cliff Flowers, the sole remainder of a once thriving company poised for certain Wall Street dominance but was cut down in its prime by greed, incompetence and hubris. Patriot Scientific was lead by such business luminaries as Rick Goener, played by William H. Macy, David Pohl, played by Abe Vagoda and the man with a big dog and stunning wife, Jim Turley (played by himself in his acting debut). Pohl, a once honest businessman lured into the seedy world of Eric Swartz (played by Kevin Spacey), the notorious death financier, who summarily dismisses Pohl once his bidding is done. With a special appearance by Faye Dunaway as Janet Neal, the International VP of Admin and love interest of Leckrone. She would rendezvous with Leckrone and then steal away in his Gulfstream (paid for by Charles Moore, played by Christopher Lloyd) to her quaint London manor (also paid for by Moore). All the while 16,000 shareholders watch helplessly as their savings and dreams deteriorate before their very eyes. This tale examines the inner workings of USPTO and the dire influence special interests have on the patent re-examination process. It’s a story of hope and despair and more despair. It’s a story of how 16,000 shareholders banded together to oust the Board of Directors who were responsible for countless missteps and mistakes. These same valiant shareholders would ultimately be responsible for putting the coveted MMP in the competent hands of seasoned industry veterans with integrity (via proxy). These same industry stalwarts would ultimately take Patriot unimaginable heights where only the bold dreamed possible.

All my oninion.
