- Friends, - I'm a writer on assignment with Technology Review working on a piece about Patent Secrecy Orders, a Cold War invention that allows the DOD to block grants of patents to inventors whose inventions are deemed inimicable to the national security for military rivals to know about or aquire. - I've got tons of figures on it from the PTO yet the one company that I've heard about that has recently fought a patent secrecy order - and won - doesn't want to appear in print. - Does anyone know an inventor - individual or corporate - who has had one of these things slapped on them? I'd appreciate any response. I'm stumped because all of this is . . . secret and unpublished so finding a victim of secrecy order will have to come from word of mouth, or word of net. - Thanks. - Peter Cassidy
