Patent Problems? Not here...

PopeAlien.com has applied for a patent covering certain methods of online information transfer, specifically those involving a mouse, computer, and some sort of browser software (Patent 566345J). We would like to assure those that are concerned about the broad range of this patent application, that we will only be applying this patent to cases that infringe upon our corporate interests. We do not wish to cause any inconvenience to the general public, and as such we shall be applying only a small fee to those that wish to access information in this manner.

We have also been contemplating selling books through an online site, and have therefore applied for an additional patent covering the transfer of information from a collection of sheets of paper, covered in text, and bound into an easy to handle format (Patent 0963458J). We feel that there is definate future growth in this area, and will therefore be pursuing those that infringe upon our patent vigorously.

To make sure that you are in compliance with these new patents we ask the following:

When 'surfing the web' please observe if the process involves a 'mouse', computer, and some sort of browser software. If this is the case, please send a cheque payable for $34.95 to Ion Images, Suite 191 - 3495 Cambie St., Vancouver BC, V5Z 3R4 Canada, to avoid lengthy costly court cases.

If at some point throughout your normal day-to-day activity you find that you are involved in the transfer of information from a collection of sheets of paper, covered in text, and bound into an easy to handle format, please send $34.95 to the address mentioned above, to avoid lengthy costly court cases.

If at some point throughout your normal day-to-day activity you notice an aquaintance engaged in the aforementioned activities, please remind them of the current PopeAlien.Com patents, and provide them with the address to send cheques to.

We thank you for your consideration of the above points, and appreciate any cowering you can do in the face of current PopeAlien.com patent applications. Together we can make the web a more legal, lawyer friendly place.

Sincerely,

T. Pope
