Statement posted from Dr Jon in regards to the Truepic app..

After learning of the Truepic app posted here today I had a phone conference immediately with with Dr Jon Leonard and Eric McRae. After this Conversation Dr Jon spoke with our patent attorney at length and I just received a statement from Dr Jon to be posted below:

Hello David,



Thanks for the conversation this morning about activities you think might infringe our pending and granted patent claims.



The "look-alike” patent and its championed product is an interesting case. When we first looked at the file history of the patent we were NOT actually surprised to see that ALL the initial claims were rejected by the patent office as being precluded by Tautachrome’s (Jon N Leonard’s) patent work. Our work is pioneering and world changing. It is not surprising that people want in on the action and that our being there first is a hindrance to them.



Subsequently, the inventors on the look-alike added features that were acceptable to the patent office, that involved creating a web page for each picture, requiring a picture to be watermarked within a set fixed time, and having the picture come back to the camera from the cloud.



In my view these low value features got their patent out the door, but left its owners in a precarious place. To me it appears that any product of theirs would likely infringe our claims, while no product of ours would infringe theirs.



Regards,

Jon N Leonard, CEO
