Evan Brown has an idea. He hasn't explained it to anyone,
and hasn't put it in any tangible form yet. But Alcatel
believes it is in his head, and they want it extracted.

"Brown was obligated to disclose the solution to Alcatel and only to
Alcatel. In addition, Brown was ordered to pay Alcatel's legal fees,
which exceed $330,000."

Brown's legal fees? He representated himself, since it
was an open and shut case in his favor. Fool. Doesn't
he realize that the law isn't about such idealist notions
as "right" and "wrong"? It's about who feeds the most
money back into the system created by the lawyers in
Washington and the state capitals.
