SLAPPing the whistle blowing inventors

Ron J. Riley of InventorEd.com left a comment on one of my posts on invention promotion companies earlier today.  I’m not sure that I’d seen his site before, but it appears to be a great resource of "Information about inventing, inventors, obtaining a patent, and enforcement of patent rights…[and] offers practical advice on what an inventor should do to succeed in this very difficult profession."

One interesting section of his website deals with SLAPP lawsuits filed by invention promotion companies against inventors who dare to speak up when they feel defrauded.  The term SLAPP referring to the "corporate technique of suing people into silence and submission..known in lawyer lingo as "SLAPP
suits," an acronym for "strategic lawsuits against public
participation."" 

Ron’s comment in said post above pointed out (among other things) that you can search for SLAPP suits filed by Invent-Tech (Invention Technologies) by going to http://www.miami-dadeclerk.com/civil, selecting "Standard Case Search" and then searching "party name" for "Invention Technologies."
