ZERO, the patent claims were all disclaimed to the public as part of the settlement. The claims are now dedicated to the public. Worth zero.

Czech the file wrappers (and all of any recent possible assignments - none) on USPTO website.

Also, if there were such, it would have been Item #1 for discovery during DEIRDREs abritration or many of the current ongoing lawsuits (and this would have been pleaded in the blind in the complaints and amended complaints. Simple fact - there was no sale and assignment of patents ~OUTTside the settlement. The USPTO data shows that, and common sense tells one that if that was even a remote possibility, lawyers for DEIRDRE, Inventords, and even the joke, failed nonsense Radar and the Realtor wronGGG venue case in Orange County Traffic Court (Night Session) did nott allege such in their BizzaroLand filings (now dead, dead, and dead).

[justus1]

What do you think the patents sold for?

[zombywolf]

Not supposed settlement, the actual number is there backed up by the Deirdre arb award.

[shajandr]

tsk-tsk. Life is hard ... for some. Shedd no tears - they all had legal representation at all stages of negotiating the various deals.

Now they don't like what they negotiated and agreed to and they want special new powers and rights.

Tough beans.

[long uoip]

pensive ironclad NDA.. .yet supposed $ettlement figures are on the world wide web

curious that lawyers sleep during pm knowing their conduct in the am, no conscience ?

just because you can, doesn't mean you should.. .karma (tom girardi)

to lose one's REPUTATION over greed.. .NO INTEGRITY

$125 million supposed settlement & wouldn't even give the 3 geriatric patent inventors $1 million each.. .as low as it gets

[zombywolf]

That was a curious move, taking Chanbond to a new law firm and leaving the legal costs to that point behind. Kinda like shareholders investing in the company and Billy taking our money. Methinks we have common ground here. Might be worth Finger making a call to Mishcon for a little chat. Be interesting to see if Whitman and Billy cough up some ill gotten gains to the rightful owners.

[zombywolf]

What this movie needs is Clint Eastwood with a whip and a machine gun.

[long uoip]

what was the "$ALE of PATENTS"..........vs. settlement leak/assertions

case is currently at DISCOVERY STAGE

(EXPOSE ALL the SIDE DEALS)

given billy has NOT been forthright with documents thus far, there's only 1 way out

....we'll see what is further UNCOVERED in the coming days

(this case has more PLAYERS than the NBA)

I have said a dozen times that Whitman et al have been an issue since I read the waterfall agreement.

Anyone willing to listen yet?

re: "work for ChanBond between 2015 and 2019, and invested more than $7.6 million in lawyer time, pursuing a campaign against 13 defendants through multiple stages of litigation”

[zombywolf]

What a pit of vipers in this case. Maybe we should join up with Mishcon to take them all down.

[long uoip]

..“deliberate and calculated”

..uproot the ChanBond matters from Mishcon, and move to a different firm they could avoid Mishcon’s…entitlement to fees, and retain for themselves a greater share of any fees earned”

..lawyers are on par with politicians.. .as LOW as one can go

[zombywolf]

Great thanks to the poster that forwarded that article to us.

[zombywolf]

And it matches the $27.5 million that was disclosed as the amount Deidre was awarded at the arb. Settlement amount confirmed.

[zombywolf]

Two people with knowledge of the situation said that the matter is now in arbitration.

In December 2019, the two Mishcon partners overseeing the litigation left the firm and joined KWM, “taking the ChanBond matters with them”, Mishcon’s lawyers, David Slarskey and Evan Fried of Slarskey LLC, said in their filing. They added: “Those matters have since settled for $125 million.”

Mishcon also claimed that, unbeknownst to the firm, the two ex-Mishcon partners, Mark Raskin and Robert Whitman, “had been negotiating an agreement with Defendant KWM since June 2019?, and that the firm’s recruitment of the partners has been “deliberate and calculated”.
The action, filed in February this year, alleges that Raskin and Whitman “believed that if they could uproot the ChanBond matters from Mishcon, and move to a different firm they could avoid Mishcon’s…entitlement to fees, and retain for themselves a greater share of any fees earned”.

In its initial action, Mishcon demanded compensation in one of two ways: either the $7.6 million the firm said it invested in the ChanBond matters, or 87.7% of a 28.5% contingency fee, which Mishcon argued it was entitled to under its engagement letter with ChanBond.

If, as Mishcon’s lawyers have argued, the ChanBond litigation subsequently settled for $125 million, this would represent around $31 million.

In response, KWM later filed a motion in April to dismiss Mishcon’s claims, with the firm’s lawyers arguing that it had “successfully resolved the litigations for ChanBond more than 1.5 years” after Mishcon had ceased to represent the company.

KWM argued that the contract between Mishcon and ChanBond “unambiguously requires any and all fee disputes between them to ‘be finally settled by mandatory binding arbitration’”.

KWM further argues that Mishcon’s action against both it and ChanBond was an attempt to “avoid arbitration with ChanBond”, and that the action itself was proof that Mishcon had “disregarded its arbitration agreement”.

Mark Raskin and Robert Whitman did not respond to requests for comment.

Mishcon and KWM declined to comment.

[zombywolf]

A multi-million dollar dispute in which Mishcon de Reya has accused King & Wood Mallesons of “poaching” two of its New York-based partners has shifted from a New York court battle to arbitration.

In court filings lodged at New York’s Supreme Court, Mishcon’s lawyers have accused KWM of recruiting two Mishcon partners in New York “in an attempt to poach” a lucrative piece of litigation from the firm.

The action against both KWM and patent company ‘ChanBond’ relates to work undertaken by Mishcon’s now-defunct New York office, which closed in 2020.

According to the documents, the U.K.-based firm undertook work for ChanBond between 2015 and 2019, and invested more than $7.6 million in lawyer time, “pursuing a campaign against thirteen defendants through multiple stages of litigation”.

[zombywolf]

We now know the settlement amount.

Sorry Folks.

Billy, who is a fine Southern gentleman, and DEIRDRE, who is a Southern belle, will both be fine even if the lawyers CONsume ALL of the remaining chump coins and GTFOH shekels, because they both have good health and in the Bigg Picture that is all that really matters.

The Inventors notsomuch.

Butt Billy and DEIRDRE will still crawl away from this with their good health - which cannot be bought butt can be sold - even if all the chump coins and GTFOH shekels are blown away as legal fees (and costs).

Time is money - and it is runnin ~OUTT



Billy and DEIRDRE still have their health and a few decades left to recover financially

[zombywolf]

No "buzz", more like a "fizzie" in a glass of water, lol.

[shajandr]

What is the latest buzz from all the lawsuits?

It sounds like a thousand chainsaws cutting into wood.

Oh, that must just be all the lawyers billing time to be paid ultimately from Chanbond thanks to awards of attorney fees.

[shajandr]

Billy is a fine Southern gentleman. He has lawyers billing Chanbond also.

(Sound of bizzy bees billing)

[shajandr]

I hear the sound of billables ringing up in the background. With attorney fees awarded, they all come from the Chanbond pot. DEIRDRE is a fine Southern belle and she will likely be awarded her attorney fees and those will be coming ~OUTT of Chanbonds pot.

As will the inventors legal fees and costs if they prevail also.

All legal fees and expenses come from the Chanbond pot.

I hear Akiva billing.

Right now!

[zombywolf]

GC, a lot depends on the outcome of the CBV case. If the inventors get the arb result dismissed, then there might be something for us in the NC action. If they lose, you are probably right.

[shajandr]

Akiva's screensaver:

[zombywolf]

Knott billing our side, we is on da outside lookin in!!

[shajandr]

The meter CONtinues to run - endlessly.

DEIRDRE is always looking ~OUTT for UOIP shareholder-victims' best innerests.

DEIRDRE is the Protector of Shareholder-Victims and the Patron Saint of Nephews and Nieces.

That is how she rolls.

[TonyJoe1957]

So glad that Deirdre filed something on my behalf, as a shareholder of UOIP.

[VC3]

TY.

[zombywolf]

No, it was filed for Deirdre and the shareholders of UOIP.

[zombywolf]

I posted the gist of the filing a little while back. I will search for it and repost.

[VC3]

Thanks, ZW - that's the case I'd heard of but not seen. It was filed by Chen for Deidre, right? Have you read the whole thing or just have access to the heading info?

Appreciate the information.

[zombywolf]

Here is the heading info from the derivative case in NC (wont allow cut and paste for some reason)

In the General Court of Justice
Superior Court Division
File No.: 21 CVS 5405

State of North Carolina
County of Guilford

Dr Deirdre Leane, derivatively on
behalf of UNIFIEDONLINE, INC.,
a Delaware corporation,
Plaintiff

VS

William Ralph "Billy" Carter, Jr
Defendant

Filed 2/25/22- Looks like this was amended from an earlier filing- "Amended Verified Complaint" [Comp] (Jury Trial Demanded)

[shajandr]

Same reason. The in personam jurisdiction issue applies to both Federal and state courts in Norff Caroliner.

Because the [Federal District] --state-- court in NC had unquestionable personal (in personam) jurisdiction over WILLIAM Billy RALPH CARTER who was residing in North Carolina at the time.

Billy would be unable to parry that he was nott subject to in personam jurisdiction in the Norff Carolina, whereas he may have tried to CONtest the Delaware Court of Chancery having jurisdiction by alleging he was no longer affiliated with either UnifiedOnline, Chanbond, or both.

There was no (squirm/delay/spend more) room in NC where he was subject to in personam jurisdiction at minimum.

Radar and the Realtor seem to have mist the first week of Civ Pro I, among other classes they seem to have mist. But they could BILL the shit ~OUTTa KIAN, KAMAL, GREG, and HangersOn before their turd case finally gott tossed in Orange County. Which is the ONLY way one can rationalize that choice of venue.

I bet they billed way into six figgers (eight if there was any sense involved) - prolly at least $250,000 - for that OC farce. For those shitlaw clowns, that is prolly a lott of munny. Possibly the most they have ever seen (aside from the real estate agent commissions).

[VC3]

ZW - that's the one I was asking about. Why would Cohen file there rather than DE Chancery?

[zombywolf]

And both Akiva Cohen and Steve Brauerman referred to it when we spoke after the April hearing in DE.

[zombywolf]

The derivative case was filed in Guilford county on or about Feb 25 2022. Cohen filed it, and Billy's side responded to it. I posted the heading info a little while back. I'll look and post it again.

[shajandr]

That is not from the MDNC Federal court case, which is a debt case and has nothing whatsoever indicating any shareholder derivative lawsuit or element thereof.

Look and cut-and-paste anything from the MDNC US DIstrict Court case that shows otherwise.

I do nott see it. Good luck, ZW.

Read the complaint, the amended complaint, and the answer for starters. Lemme know where and what you find that indicates any element of a shareholder derivative lawsuit.

Then cut-and-paste please. We can discuss.

This is a personal debt case and NOTT in any way a shareholder derivative suit, nor titled or styled as such and makes no such claims as far as I can see:

North Carolina Middle District Court
Judge: William L Osteen, Jr
Referred: Joi Elizabeth Peake
Case #: 1:21-cv-00514
Nature of Suit 190 Contract - Other Contract
Cause 28:1332 Diversity-Breach of Contract
Case Filed: Jun 22, 2021

[zombywolf]

It was within the 175 pg filing on 4/22/22. You have already quoted material from some of the pages. I can't paste it as the copy I was given is read only.

[shajandr]

Where?

Copy-and-paste from the MDNC US District Court case documents what you think shows that.

[zombywolf]

You saw the filing. It shows that it is a shareholder derivative suit vs Billy.

[shajandr]

R yu shure bout dat? Please identify which paper in LEANE v. CARTER in NC shows that LEANE/Akiva is bringing/has brought a shareholder derivative suit.

Then post a link to it.

Then we will discuss/I will explicate.

TIA.

[zombywolf]

He is now your lawyer in NC.

[shajandr]

Akiva is a good lawyer

Well, he appears to be the best of this bunch, Which is nott really saying much. Butt that is nott his fault that the others are unimpressive (to say the least - pity to whichever malpractice carrier insures Radar and the Realtor). Cohen has the basic experience required (a decade at AmLaw200 firm(s)) for a Federal court-level commercial litigator.

And I doubt he is ~OUTT showing homes as a real estate salesman like Realtor. So far, I can think of no critique I have of Cohen and his filngs in this matter. It is still early daze, butt so far-so good from Mr. Cohen. And, like many Columbia Law grads I have dealt with, he is a purty good righter - legal docwise.

Plus I give him props for having 5 kids. That must make getting work done while at home very difficult. Good for him. Those kids are way, waaaay more important in the Big Scheme of Stuph and Thangs than any legal work he has done or will ever do.

As a commercial/binniss lawyer, one is basically a mental prostitute, renting~OUTT yer brain and knowledge. The act of whatcha do is nott particularly rewarding (other than munny and relationships) except in the moment. When one looks back on the decades, it is hard to feel that much of the work really mattered to ya. Well, at least compared to important achievements like fambly, health, serenity, and financial relaxitude.

And remember peeples, just dont drink and drive! Or be high and drive. Or really ever get drunk at all. Ethanol is metabolized to acetaldehyde - a chemical much like formaldehyde - and you are just pickling/embalming yerself slowly by dranking booze. And, as with the numerous Billy Carters ~OUTT there, make shure you have DaWright innavidjewel when Czeching el nombres. Bettah make shure you gotts DaWrightDude before yapping-off.

Is Billy still living in a rented /couchsurfed howse in NC? Who nose, as it is not his howse. He does knott seem to own any real property - butt there are many WILLIAM CARTERs ~OUTT there, and many states and countries - so there may be a BillyAcre ~OUTT there sumwhere.

Sumware warm, sunni, & breezy where you can gett cocktails by DaBeach with little parasols in them - well come to BillyLand!

[AllinFun]

Yeah he is a good lawyer... for Deidre.
