Had a lovely call from Gil Hyatt, erstwhile inventor of the microprocessor and prominent #patentlitigation expert, tonight. Brought me up-to-speed on his current #patent status, his portfolio has hundreds, and future plans. He’s got some big cases due to hit the PTO. I’ve been associated with Gil for over 25 very entertaining & informative years. Netflix could make a series about #GilHyatt & everybody would watch. He’s a man on a life-long crusade. Could be interesting.
