Default Patent rights for infrared held by HomeSafe inspection

Just got a letter from Home Safe Inspection, PO Box 1113, Oxford Mississippi 38655 wanting $79.00 monthly from me because they claim to own the patent rights with the University of Mississippi on infrared technology in the inspection of homes. I am suppose to contact Kevin Seddon at 866-327-7233 to obtain proper permission to continue within the next two weeks. Patent #s 7369955, 7385483, 7434990, 7271706 and 7429928

He can kiss my *****. I do not even own an infrared camera.

I noticed his website claims he can see through walls. Boy, that could come back to bite him in the arse.



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

Just one more IR "expert" making a claim without any preparation to back it up.

Nick is going to claim to own the rights to home inspections, and require ASHI inspectors to pay him $39.00 per inspection or join NACHO

True dat. But that's o.k. with the money I would make off the wheels, I would just hire a bunch of inspectors to do it for me.

James,

Just for grins and giggles you should send the email to FLIR, FLUKE, Infraspection Institute, Snell Infrared and any other company offering training and/or selling IR cameras. I am sure they will get a laugh out of it!

Brilliant! Maybe GM can use this ruse to generate an extra $25B. After all, we do use some of their vehicles while traveling to and from Nicks RealtyTrack foreclosure inspections....
