The Secret Service worked with Keough to take down Steve Renner, the guy that retaliated against Keough.

Eventually, the victim spoke with former InetGlobal CEO Steven Keough.

Keough, according to the Secret Service, told the victim on Jan. 11 to “cash out” of the system.

"We can't cash out,” the victim said. “[I]t is not possible, due to mandatory repurchasing built into the system.

On the very next day — Jan. 12 — Keough, an attorney and former naval officer, met with the Secret Service. He had contacted federal prosecutors Jan. 8 to express concerns about the company’s business practices. His first contact occurred only two months after he was appointed CEO on Nov. 7, 2009, according to the affidavit.

USPTO Will Begin Publishing Patent Applications

Publication of patent applications before a patent is granted is one of the most fundamentally significant changes to the U.S. patent system in this century, and stems from a statutory mandate contained in the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 (AIPA).

Prior to the AIPA, damages for infringement can begin accruing no earlier than the date a patent issues. Under provisions in the AIPA, inventors can obtain reasonable royalties from others who make, use, sell, or import the invention during the period between the time the patent application is published and the patent is granted. This new right may be invaluable during the formulation stage of new businesses and for independent inventors in need of investments. Filers can also request that applications be published earlier than 18 months, a procedure that offers inventors provisional rights at an earlier stage.

There are exclusions from the publication requirement, the most significant of which is for applicants who attest upon filing that they have not and will not file an application for the same invention in a foreign country or under a multilateral international agreement, that requires publication of applications 18 months after filing. Most applications filed in foreign countries and under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, for example, are published 18 months after filing.

"Publishing patent applications before a patent issues offers a number of significant benefits to the patent system," said Q. Todd Dickinson, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO. "It allows earlier insight into the state-of-the-art, helping organizations and inventors better pinpoint their research and development investments. It expands the library of prior art available to USPTO's examiners, ensuring that the first inventor can be readily determined earlier in the process. And, it brings us another step closer to an international patent, an important goal in today's global economy."

OBVIOUSLY, THE ASSUMPTION PLACED IN THE MESSAGE BELOW IS 100% INCORRECT.

Once a patent is published there is no further action that can be taken.

Thanks Darkoo for disclosing excellent Facts! I was amazed about Keough on this >> "“Keough appeared on the company’s website as of January 5, 2010 stating that he intended to recruit new customers from all around the world,” Hopeman asserted. “These are not the same words that Keough spoke to the agents days later when he claimed that the entire business was fraudulent. "
