Tracy, we are in a non written agreement to commercialize my algorithms by this company. The verification is make sure my algorithm works and do better than current algorithms in the market including its own algorithms.
The statement can be approved to be false statement by many ways.
1) The solutions meet the industrial standards (what should be provided). and can be checked by expert in the field to see if it works.
2) There are 3 stages during the verification and it last a year long, moving forward from stage 1 to stage 2, moving forward from stage 2 to stage 3 can happen only when the company were happy with the solutions provided in each stage. The company checked the a few simple demonstration projects in stage 1 and was happy about the solutions, based on the solutions from stage 1 we move to stage 2, the company invited their expert in the field from Canada and had meeting with me to undertake further testing. The company tried to deny this happened, they argue that my solutions was failed in stage 1 and they did not see any values from my work and the exploratory talks lapsed.
For defamation, after I raised the issue in this year, there are 4 persons on the list for discussion about the dispute. That person who made the statement, the CEO and a legal counsel and myself. That was the first time he made the statement about my solutions. I did not received any negative feedback from the company during the verification.
"This depends on the agreement between you and the company. It is very difficult if you did not sign any agreement. However, verbal assurances, email correspondence, anything written down that notes the verification agreement is helpful. What was the understanding between you and the company? It also depends on whether this company is in the business of proving commercialisation verification,are they? If not, why did you send it to them in the first place?"
we are in a non written agreement to commercialize my algorithms by this company. This can be approved by emails. The verification is make sure my algorithm works and do better than current algorithms in the market including its own algorithms. During the verification, what I get from them is "it is a very smart algorithm" and I have not received any negative comments form them. We are in a field, the solutions provided too much information about the algorithms, it is quite easy to undertake reverse engineering to find out confidential information.
