Malinvestment And Opportunity

Royalty / Licensing Agreement

John,

You previously provided a link for a royalty agreement or licensing contract.
If the link to the agreement/contract is still available, can you please
tell me how to get to it? I may need a royalty / licensing agreement soon
and need to prepare one in advance of the first appointment.

Any other suggestions on how to prepare for a first meeting to "license" a
product?

Thanks.

How To Get In Neiman Marcus


Folks,

Here is a link to a Neiman Marcus ad for a featured designer
Easton-Pearson...

Google them and this comes up...

We see why they started, when they started, and how they work... ain't
much to it...

Yes, they have been around 15 years... but they are based in Brisbane
Australia, not exactly ground zero for high fashion. And you got to
figure maybe five of that was getting started... so a top retailer in
the world is leading with fashions from a couple of Brisbane gals?
Good for them!

You can do this.

Malinvestment And Opportunity

Folks,

If you accept the premise that gov't has no role in business because they
cannot respond to customer demand, then government intensive areas like the
internet are all the more untenable.

I know nothing about the computer business, outside of being a consumer, but
I do believe the entire internet probably yields a net deficit. National
security, business security, personal security...all threatened by the 'net, as
it
is. Now here comes the gov't that caused the problems proposing to fix it by
starting over. I believe the internet is a wide open opportunity for anyone to
start over and fix it. It is only an invention, and there is no solution
that cannot be improved upon.

With the internet we pay too much for systems that do too much. In time
someone is going to meet customer demand, and do very well...

NSF GIVES PEEK AT PLANS TO OVERHAUL INTERNET
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has given a glimpse of a proposed
initiative to redesign the Internet. Though short on details and
currently without funding, the project, called the Global Environment
for Networking Investigations, is intended to take a clean-slate
approach to designing a new Internet, one that addresses some of the
major shortcomings of the current Internet, including security and the
growing numbers of individual devices that connect to the network.
Increasing transfer speeds is not one of the project's goals. Leonard
Kleinrock, computer scientist at UCLA and one of the developers of
Arpanet, precursor to the current Internet, noted that early developers
of the Internet did not anticipate its current reach and had no reason
to include security as a primary concern. In addition, the network was
not designed to accommodate the vast numbers of mobile and wireless
devices, as well as remote sensors, that now vie for Internet space.
The NSF is seeking participation from other government agencies and
from other countries for the project.
