On the intimation there may be patentable concepts within those messages, in
addition to the protection US law offers (up to one year from publication),
Aerospace Corporation counsel has requested this notice:
The email message of Friday, November 20th was proprietary and
confidential information of The Aerospace Corporation and the
University of California, Irvine and that the distribution of the
email message was unauthorized and occurred without the
permission or knowledge of either The Aerospace Corporation or the
University of California, Irvine.
They (and I) further request that you:
(1) destroy all copies of those messages
(2) do not forward or divulge its contents to any third parties
My agreement with this course of action has NO bearing on my professional
opinion of our claims to protection, privacy, or other rights. I am NOT
interested in a debate about how "lame", "obvious", "unpatentable", or
"unoriginal" any or all ideas in it may have been.
***It was confidential information on work-in-progress and that's that***
Apologies,
Rohit Khare
