Subject: Day's events Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2000 23:23:24 -0500 From: Geoffrey Fox ------- Blind-Carbon-Copy Reply-to: gcf@npac.syr.edu To: Carter Strickland Subject: Day's events Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2000 23:23:24 -0500 From: Geoffrey Fox I have 6.55 am flight tomorrow, So I will summarize what happened and prepare comments in detail on your FAX tomorrow morning on plane a) I sent email to Boston lawyer about Patent after being told urgent I will after this email send you copy b) There is a curious debate about trademarks which is amusing legal issue but I think in long run a red herring being used by Marek to keep waters stirred I will send you this exchange Karin Carey (see later) told me she had been asked to research issue by Ben Ware c) I had an interesting conversation with a friend (I think) Bob Birge who just left SU (He was after me next highest paid professor here). Bob says that "Ben Ware claims he doesn't know what to do. SU gave me all I wanted and now I am suffering as I asked for wrong thing. Ben ware sees no way of solving problem ...." d) I was delivered a set of documents re contracts SU-Federal Agencies. I left in my room I can ask my admin aide to get delivered to you. e) Karin Carey hand delivered to me a new amendment to contract. She is responsible for tech transfer and sponsored programs. She was quite sweet and played "dumb" saying she did not know if Marek could sign amendment (Given original agreement signed by Fox Podgorny Markowski) I faxed this to you. I found it unprofessional that they would prepare this with again same problem that defining attachments are not very precise -- they are marketing material. We discussed strategy and she suggested doing one thing at a time. I suggested this was a dangerous strategy -- need to get everything on the table! PS I couldn't get your Fax to work and sent to main Mackenzie Fax Geoffrey Fox gcf@npac.syr.edu, http://www.npac.syr.edu Director of NPAC and Professor of Physics and Computer Science Phones Cell 3152546387 Office 3154432163 Npac 3154431723 Fax 3154434741 ------- End of Blind-Carbon-Copy
