Dear Mr. Coder,
I appreciate your opinion and comments.
I would like to hear from an e-gold representative,
because they would have access to pertinent
information,
unless you are an official spokesman for e-gold, you
are just guessing, are you?
Please go to the following link, courtesy of the US
Patent office:
http://164.195.100.11/netahtml/search-adv.htm
search for: IN/Turk AND ABST/gold
and you will see that the application was filed in
June of 1995.
When exactly was e-gold launched?
As we all know, in the past, e-gold layers have
threatened potential Exchange Providers with
legal actions, for trademark violations.
e-gold are very aware of such things, it seems like
only when it is to their advantage, not because the
law says so.
Are they in patent law violation?
What do they have to say about it?
Are the founders just copycats?
