To whom it may concern, 
 
 Under the heading of "Invention Promotion Firm", I find it grossly unfair that your site has chosen the names of certain individuals (and companies) that were named in lawsuits over the past 15 years. You should either list every lawsuit against every invention promotion firm (and the names of their officers and directors), or none at all. In fact, your site should not be posting allegations against certain individuals without posting the corresponding outcomes for each individual and corporation. The webpage as it stands now, could be considered libelous and commercially disparaging. Your writers have chosen (3) lawsuits against invention promotion firms in an arbitrary and capricious manner.  
 
 I am formally requesting that you remove the names of the individuals on this webpage (and references to lawsuits) - unless you are willing to list every lawsuit against every invention promotion firm that has ever existed.  
 
 If Wikipedia is offering a definition of an "Invention Promotion Firm" - these lawsuits and the named individuals have nothing to do with such a definition. In addition, there are many Invention Promotion Firms that have never been sued, but have more complaints and unhappy clients than the (3) you have arbitrarily chosen.  
 
 Invention Promotion Firms date back to the 1850's and Wikipedia is not offering any information about how the field developed, or any of the successful firms that have helped inventors earn royalties. Also, your contributor may have had a monetary motive for wanting to denounce the names of the individuals and corporations listed under this category. Some of these invention "activists" point to these lawsuits and invention promotion firms as scam artists, and in the same breath are taking thousands of dollars from inventors and claiming to be the "good guys" (because they are named in a lawsuit on Wikipedia). 
 
 Your writer's approach to this subject is slanted, biased and indefensible. My suggestion is to have another writer (without an agenda) research the subject properly and refrain from posting allegations from lawsuits against individuals. Some of these allegations were without merit and some were dismissed. 
 
 Wikipedia is leaving itself wide open for a defamation action by vilifying only a small select group of invention promotion firms. Please consider revising this page. 
 
 Sincerely,
