At Jay Jacobson's Tech Officer's meeting, he recently had a 20yr+ 
experienced patent attorney, Marty Stoneman, who was very good at 
explaining remedial patent law.  He had some very eye-opening points, he 
was very quick in turning questions around informitavely and humorously, 
and seemed to just love to speak to people.  I've also exchanged a few 
e-mails with him.  Specifically, when ./ had the "M$ patented XML" 
article, I forwarded that to him with a few questions.  He was again 
very helpful, and during this discussion, he pointed out to me that 
there are in fact ways of invalidating patents.

Given enough interest, I could get Mr. Stoneman in for a PLUG meeting or 
two.  He considers time spent speaking to groups an efficient use of his 
time, and seems to like to network.

Is East Side or West Side best?  I will try to convince him to go to 
both, but which can be triaged?

What questions would you have?  Again, I will try to have him bring 
explanations on how to invalidate patents, in addition to the quality 
material he already has.
