Sub-Scandal 1: Obama’s friends conceal required judicial disclosures in Leader v. Facebook
Sub-Scandal 2: Patent judges formerly employed by Facebook stakeholders TRY to kill off Leader’s 10-year old patent BY UNVARNISHED FIAT
Sub-Scandal 3: Patent Office is protecting its 15,000 "likes" on Facebook too, along with Obama's 47 million
Sub-Scandal 4: Director Kappos hides Facebook stock behind deceptive ethics wording
(Sep. 4, 2013)—An Indiana businesswoman, undeterred by Patent Office stonewalling and lying, pressed the Patent Office last week to cough up financial reports and background information on Patent Office employees involved in Leader v. Facebook. She filed an appeal to her first request (CLICK HERE), and also a second request (CLICK HERE).
Remarkably, like the IRS, the Patent Office blanked out most of its disclosure (also see previous post), including every reference to Microsoft and Facebook. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) officer herself, attorney Kathryn Siehndel, failed to disclose her prior employment with Facebook’s lawyer in Leader v. Facebook, White & Case LLP.
Nonsensically, the Patent Office is claiming that they have no documents on their handling of the politically-motivated Leader v. Facebook 3rd patent reexamination.
The litany of Patent Office indiscretions is embarrassing. We see patent judges and personnel formerly employed by Facebook stakeholders pretending to be impartial. We see Director David J. Kappos encouraging his 10,000 employees to “like” the Patent Office Facebook page—before the Leader v. Facebook trial even began!
The Indiana businesswoman appealed the Patent Office’s refusal to provide even the most basic public information required by U.S. laws, like The Ethics in Government Act 5 CFR Part 2634 and 5 U.S.C. app. 4 §§ 101-111: Public financial disclosure requirements. That law identifies “an administrative law [Patent Office] judge” specifically.
The President and his cronies ignore inconvenient property laws
The Executive and Judicial Branches are evidently marching down a path where laws unhelpful to their agenda are simply ignored. The ship of state is listing badly, and the People’s body (Congress) must fix this mess. It appears that Congress must pass legislation to override the massively corrupt Leader v. Facebook decision.
Fig. 1—Patent Office David J. Kappos promised to disqualify himself in matters where his personal interests (like Fidelity-managed IBM personal pension funds) interfered with his impartiality.
Kappos ignored this pledge in ordering the 3rd reexamination of Leader Technologies' U.S. Pat. No. 7,139,761, even though his Fidelity Investments friends, incl. Robert Ketterson, are heavily invested in stock and relationships with Facebook and its largest shareholder, James W. Breyer, Accel Partners LLP. See David J. Kappos Ethics Pledge.[01]
(Sep. 9, 2013)—AFI has just obtained documents from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics regarding Patent Office Director David J. Kappos (CLICK HERE).
Kappos exhibits detailed knowlege of his investment portfolio, including the composition of his 401K plan funds. Tellingly, while he ostensibly divested himself of his IBM holdings, he continued to hold his "IBM Personal Pension Plan" managed by Fidelity Investments during his employment at the Patent Office. However, he did not disclose the composition of the Fidelity account, as he had just done for his 401K fund. That disclosure would have included Facebook by 2011. Kappos ordered Leader's 3rd reexam after Facebook came into his Fidelity portfolio.[01]
Fidelity's head of technology funds, Robert Ketterson, is a long-time business partner and venture capital associate of Facebook's largest shareholder and director, James W. Breyer, Accel Partners LLP. Notably, every federal judge in Leader v. Facebook held Fidelity investments containing Facebook holdings. Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. held eleven (11) and Delaware District Court Judge Leonard P. Stark held eight (8) Fidelity Investment funds notoriously holding Facebook shares prior to the IPO. Justice Roberts even failed to disclose that he mentors Facebook's appeals attorney Thomas G. Hungar, Gibson Dunn LLP. All roads appear to lead to Fidelity, Ketterson, Justice Roberts, Judge Stark, Attorney-in-Chief Hungar, Breyer and Accel Partners in Kappos' conflict of interest shell game.
Fig. 2—U.S. Patent Office Director David J. Kappos states that he is "entitled" to hold stock in Facebook (and reap the IPO rewards) via his IBM/Fidelity investments. Will such deceptive lawyering keep him out of jail? Does it pass the reasonable person smell test? Will current patent judges continue to support this corruption? Those judges and employees include Siu, MacDonald, Hughes, Petravick, Moore, Timm, Siehndel, Examiner Deandra Hughes and members of the the Federal Circuit "old boy" clerks club A.F.L.C.T.A.C.A.F.C.*([01]
* Assoc. of Former Law Clerks and Technical Assistants for the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
[Editorial: Would the A.F.L.C.T.A.C.A.F.C. be analogous to an Assoc. of Former Managers-in-Training of McDonald's Corporation? This silly, self-serving association is very evidently a fifth column. These Patent Office judges gave themselves a vehicle to pursue hidden Federal Circuit agendas inside the Patent Office—all without accountability or transparency. Their former bosses must be pleased. This association destroys the separation of powers.]
However, not to be missed is the shift in his promise regarding his Fidelity-managed pension fund: "I will not participate personally or subtantially in any particular matter that has a direct and predictable effect on the ability or willingness of IBM to provide the distributions to which I am entitled." Note this entitlement wording.
This wording can be made to say whatever one wants. Why would he promise not to interfere in IBM's ability to pay him? Tellingly, this clause sidesteps his promise in the previous paragraphs not to participate in "the financial interests of any holding in these funds" ... like Facebook.
Despite his promise to the American people to conduct himself ethically, Kappos nonetheless ordered his patent office judges to reexamine Leader's patent for a third time, and kill it off, after Facebook was found guilty of infringement on 11 of 11 counts. Such an act would benefit IBM and Fidelity Investments, and therefore, him personally. By then he failed to disclose that he was relying heavily on Facebook to show his photo and send messages to his 10,000 Patent Office employees—as his primary vehicle for his agency-wide newsletter to which he invited everyone to visit daily. (See previous post.) His clear duty was to recuse himself.
That reexamination is ongoing because Leader's lawyers enhanced the claims to avoid Kappos' henchmen. The chief judge he assigned, Stephen C. Siu, worked for Facebook stakeholders, IBM and Microsoft. This conduct shows Kappos' readiness to practice deceptive lawyering. The old saying is "a fish rots from the head." What other damage has Kappos' deceptiveness caused? We have already seen that his FOIA counsel is willing to make false statements to protect her boss.
America Invents Act or President Steals for His Cronies Act?
Kappos championed Obama's much ballyhooed America Invests Act (AIA). Does it contain the same slippery lawyering? We have concluded that AIA contains the same Orwellian doublespeak that we are finding under every rock in the Leader v. Facebook scandal. Inventors beware. The U.S. Patent Office has become a minefield for real inventors.
Administration’s misconduct is unprecedented, but was contemplated by the Founders
Perhaps never before in history have we seen an entire 10,000-person agency of government like the Patent Office conflicted out of adjudicating a case (if they all “liked” Facebook, then they cannot be unbiased).
Perhaps never before have we seen more than a half-dozen federal judges corrupted by their holdings in a litigant like Facebook. Indeed, these judges have recused themselves before for far less serious conflicts, so they cannot plead ignorance.
The Founders contemplated such dire threats to the Constitution. Those procedures must now be followed. If not now, when? Enough sins to convict these scoundrels many times over have already been proven publicly. If we allow patent property to be stolen by such corruption, then the U.S. Constitution will not be worth the paper it is written on.
Every concerned American is encouraged to write your representatives, and file your own Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests. Send the signal to these corrupted institutions that this conduct will not be tolerated.
Ask Congress to order Leader’s property returned, and to ban Facebook from using Leader’s innovations. This lawlessness among our branches of government must be stopped.

Hoffman and Mark Pincus you new that facebook was stolen.
On October 31, 2009, Michael Arrington of TechCrunch said that Zynga intentionally worked with scam advertisers In the speech, Pincus said: So I funded [Zynga] myself but I did every horrible thing in the book to, just to get revenues
E.A filed a copyright infringement lawsuit on behalf of its Maxis Label against Zynga Inc. for infringing EA’s copyrights to its Facebook game, The Sims Social. After the complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Lucy Bradshaw, general manager of EA’s Maxis Label said, "The copying was so comprehensive that the two games are, to an uninitiated observer, largely indistinguishable. Scores of media and bloggers commented on the blatant mimicry ... Today, we hope to be taking a stand that helps the industry protect the value of original creative works and those that work tirelessly to create them," in a blog post.
The launch of Mafia Wars sparked a lawsuit from the makers of Mob Wars The company had been criticized in the past for keeping up to 50% of the donations it collected

JOEL SALATIN, author of "Folks, This Ain't Normal" agrees with AFI about our broken justice system.
ReplyDelete“This whole litigation climate is destroying innovation because it makes people too afraid to move. If I think you might sue me, I’m going to move much more cautiously in my relationship with you than if I know you won’t sue me. Polyface [Farm] now leases several farms in the area. These are landowners who, for the most part, have approached us and asked us to manage their properties. It allows us to expand to meet our market demand but maintain a decentralized, spread-out production and processing model consistent with our ecological and business values.
Each agreement contains a no-litigation clause. No matter what happens or who is at fault, neither party can sue the other. Instead, we must go to binding arbitration. I have been in courtrooms several times and find them outrageous. I think if we elected non-attorneys as legislators, and selected judges from regular people, including the Supreme Court, we would have more reasonable decisions. The Constitution does not encourage attorneys to be judges. Our cultural assumption that only licensed attorneys are eligible to be judges automatically excludes innovation. It assures a fraternity of like-minded people who will assuredly protect the culture’s power brokers.”

Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican and member of the Senate Judiciary committee, last week issued a statement through his office, saying both the Senate and court officials should look further into the conflicts.
"The strength of the judicial system is its perceived objectivity," Grassley said. "If that objectivity is challenged, it can undermine public confidence in our federal court system."

The Internet is very shocked and upset that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was kind of weird and also creepy, back in college. Specifically, according to Business Insider, Zuckerberg used Facebook to get the email passwords of two Harvard Crimson reporters who were running a potentially damaging story about how Zuckerberg stole ideas zuckerberg examined a log of failed logins to see if any of the Crimson members had ever entered an incorrect password into TheFacebook.com. If the cases in which they had entered failed logins, Mark tried to use them to access the Crimson members’ Harvard email accounts. He successfully accessed two of them.”
ReplyDeleteMark Zuckerberg' Lisa Simpson (Facebook evidence-destroyer) and the law firm Orrick turned up at one of the two Harvard Crimson reporters home with two law enforcement officials and combed the house to destroy all evidence of how facebook was stolen and about paul ceglia this scandal is the unequivocal proof that our American legal system is corrupt at the highest levels. even bill gates knows that facebook was stolen$$$$.
Zuckerberg is an admitted forger and an admitted hacker, Orrick, the law firm accused of conspiring with Zuckerberg to deprive Eduardo Savrin of his shares when he stole the idea facebook. Orrick perjury and conspiring along with Zuckerberg to protect his stolen empire
Even Mark Zuckerberg's sister, Arielle Zuckerberg, and his brother-in-law, Harry Schmidt, husband of Mark's other sister, Donna, know how mark zuckerberg stole facebook and now work for Google, although somewhat accidentally. They both work at Wildfire, the social-marketing startup that Google just bought for $250 million.)
The Boston Phoenix published a story on how law enforcement officials combed the Facebook page of the "Craigslist Killer" to find incriminating information, revealing the extent to which Facebook stores personal information on the website OR DO I SAY MARK ZUCKERBERG zuck was not into facebook just a porn dating site he was going to run on wirehog
David Kirkpatrick tried to terminate wirehog and so did zuckerberg work on facebook NO he just stole the idea. and stole from M.T. McKibben. if you did a psychological profile on the Craigslist Killer you will find it fits mark zuckerberg like a glove .

There is clearly a major “Credibility Gap” in our current federal government. The gap is the difference between what is said by our officials and reality. This gap exists despite President Obama’s promise to have the most transparent government in U.S. history.
ReplyDeleteThe term has been used in the past to describe the lack of candor regarding President Johnson’s handling of the Vietnam War and President Nixon’s complicity in the Watergate Scandal. We also now know about Nixon’s treachery regarding the Paris Peace talks with the Vietnamese (see sidebar).
I encourage every American to seek out the truth and hold their elected officials to a high standard. We must vote against those who misrepresent the truth! If we don’t, we and our children will get what we deserve. And the results will not “be pretty!”
