Then ignorance is bliss . That is what needs to be address in any future business venture. If a company want to see what you can do with your product and then refuses to sign a contract, but you allow him to see the details of what you done, you thenm deserve what happens. That avenue needs to be closed big companmies or not. Stipidity in EDIG case is that they did that wioth all those they came in contact with and they all screwed them. Patents need to be protected and the laws need to be adjusted so that the penalty for any form of violation is to be penalized with all profits going to the victimize companiy.. That would stop this crap dead in its tracks. If your a thief you need jail time to help you get straight. A heavy penalty will make sure that the company that committed the crime of violating ones patents rights should also be that they are not rewarded in any way. Let it then cost them what they invested, but take away their profits. F* them
