RE: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Files
Dear Xxx:
The accompanying files pertain to the applications listed in the assignment
which were part of the Settlement Agreement entered into between ELCOM and
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx. We have also included the file for a Canadian patent
application which was inadvertently not listed in the Assignment. A separate
Assignment is being prepared for execution by Elcom and will be forwarded to you
shortly. Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx had been advised of this application by copy of our
letter to our Canadian associate, requesting that it be filed. We have just
recently received confirmation of the filing of the Canadian application. In
addition, and although under no obligation to do so, we have included our file
for the abandoned parent application of Xx. Xxxxxxx'x U.S. Patent Application,
Serial No. 07/822,326, filed January 17, 1992, for IMPROVED TRANSFORMER COUPLER
FOR COMMUNICATION OVER VARIOUS LINES.
Further, as a courtesy and under no obligation to do so, we have provided a
listing of docket dates from our docket system for the month of August
pertaining to the patent applications listed in the assignment.
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx - 2 - July 27, 1995
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT ELCOM AND ITS ATTORNEYS, XXXXXX & XXXXXXX, MAKE
NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE
DOCKET DATE LIST OR IN ANY OF THE FILES TRANSFERRED HEREWITH. YOU AND XX.
XXXXXXX SHOULD CONFIRM ALL DATES, AS WELL AS ANY RESPONSIVE ACTIONS WHICH MAY
HAVE BEEN TAKEN. PRIOR TO SETTLEMENT, AN UNDEFINED REPRESENTATION/WARRANTY WAS
REQUESTED BY XX. XXXXXXX, THROUGH HIS ATTORNEY REGARDING COMMUNICATIONS AND THE
APPLICATIONS AND PATENT LISTED IN THE ASSIGNMENT. ELCOM (AS WELL AS ITS
ATTORNEYS, XXXXXX & XXXXXXX TO WHOM THE REQUEST WAS SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED) DID
NOT PROVIDE ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION/WARRANTY AND SPECIFICALLY REFUSED THIS
--- -------
REQUEST WHILE BOTH YOU AND XXXX XXXXXXXXXX WERE ON THE TELEPHONE. THE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT WAS ENTERED INTO WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION/WARRANTY BY ELCOM
REGARDING THE PATENT APPLICATIONS AND PATENT WHICH LIST XXXXXXX XXXXXXX AS AN
INVENTOR. ACCORDINGLY, XX. XXXXXXX ENTERED INTO THIS SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AT HIS
OWN RISK AND WITH KNOWLEDGE THAT NO REPRESENTATION/WARRANTY WAS PROVIDED. AGAIN,
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY AND OBLIGATION OF YOU AND XX. XXXXXXX TO IDENTIFY AND
RESPOND TO ANY OUTSTANDING ACTION/PAYMENTS OR OTHER MATTERS FOR THE FILES BEING
TRANSFERRED HEREWITH. ELCOM SPECIFICALLY REFUSES TO ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY,
OBLIGATION OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THESE FILES. IN PARTICULAR, ALL COSTS OF
FOREIGN ASSOCIATES, FOREIGN PATENT OFFICES AND THE U. S. PATENT & TRADEMARK
OFFICE SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY OF XX. XXXXXXX FROM JULY
21, 1995 ONWARD. PLEASE FORWARD A COPY OF YOUR CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE FOREIGN
ASSOCIATES, SUBSTITUTING YOURSELF AS ATTORNEY OF RECORD. ALSO, PLEASE FORWARD
COPIES OF THE REVOCATION/SUBSTITUTION OF NEW POWER OF ATTORNEY, WHICH YOU WILL
BE FILING WITH THE U. S. PATENT & TRADEMARK OFFICE FOR XX. XXXXXXX'X U.S. PATENT
APPLICATIONS.
Further, ELCOM has asked me to inform you and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, by copy
of this letter, that it has not found any of the items which Xx. Xxxxxxx claimed
were in Elcom's possession and were not produced at the signing of the
settlement agreement on July 21, 1995, by ELCOM. After not finding any of the
items which Xx. Xxxxxxx claims existed and were in the possession of ELCOM,
------
ELCOM takes the position that either these items are (1) with Xx. Xxxxxxx, (2)
at a location other than ELCOM at the direction or
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx -3- July 27, 1995
action of Xx. Xxxxxxx, (3) do not exist or (4) never existed. ELCOM's
representation with respect to these items should only be interpreted as
agreeing that Xx Xxxxxxx claims that these items exist and were not produced.
------
ELCOM has no specific knowledge regarding whether these items ever existed, do
exist, and if so, their whereabouts. We await Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx'x reply regarding
the Zero Haliburton briefcase which Xx. Xxxxxxx did not return to ELCOM. Of
course, even if Xx. Xxxxxxx cannot find the briefcase at this time, we assume
that should he walk into either of your offices with the briefcase, that he
would be advised that this is ELCOM property and ELCOM would be advised as to
the date that it would be returned.
If you have any other questions or comments, please let us know. We
believe that with the transfer of these files and our courtesy copy of docket
copies for the month of August (without any representation that these dates are
accurate or complete), there is nothing for ELCOM to do, regarding the Xxxxxxx
patent applications and patent listed in the assignment attached to the
Settlement Agreement of July 21, 1995 in order to comply with the Settlement
Agreement.
Sincerely,
XXXXXX & XXXXXXX
