Re: Bezos responds


This is such an intelligent response from Bezos. Not so much admitting that he was wrong - but admitting that he might have used poor judgment in his initial actions. The fact that he gives credit to the people involved in conversations with him - and his statements of - in my opinion - "acting in good faith," again in my opinion; shows not only good business sense - but also a good person.
 
He wrote: "Unlike with trademark law, where you must continuously enforce your trademark or risk losing it, patent law allows you to enforce a patent on a case-by-case basis, only when there are important business reasons for doing so. "
 
I believe this is one of the most poignant parts of the letter....  I ask the group - what do you think of it?
