On the surface, its not a big deal...



I thought it was worth sharing with you my one last try to hold the folks at law360.com accountable for their factually incorrect reporting on CANVS V USA. Below is the back and forth between me and Julia Revzin the law360.com editor.

Dear Julia:

Claiming that ambiguous information caused you and your staff to behave in a manner that is potentially injurious to CANVS Corporation by no means absolves you of your responsibility in this matter.

No effort on the part of law360.com was made to contact me, CANVS, or its legal representatives prior to the publication of the offending article.

I am asking you once again to run the retraction/correction to your published statement that is false, negligent, and harmful to me and my company.

Thank you for attention in this matter,

Sincerely,

Jonathan Alexander Walkenstein President, CANVS Corporation

Hi Jon,

Stewart Bishop corrected the article, but the editors decided against issuing a formal correction due to some ambiguous language in the complaint on which the erroneous information was based.

Best,

Julia Revzin

Dear Julia:
Please E-Mail me a copy of the law360.com retraction when it is posted so that I have a record of your correcting the potentially damaging and factually incorrect information that law360.com posted in the public domain about me and my company.

I have documented the fact that I have spoken to you (the editor of law360.com) and to Stewart Bishop (the writer of the law360 post about my company). I would appreciate a timely response to my request along with your posting of the corrections that I sent you on 24FEB14 (see below).

Thank you for your consideration in this matter, I look forward to your response,

Sincerely,

Jonathan Alexander Walkenstein

Dear Julia:

Reference your article:

Here is the CANVS material as promised:

***************************************************************************************


Jonathan A. Walkenstein, President and CEO of CANVS Corporation:

"I would like to clarify one point brought up in the law360.com posting related to CANVS V USA: CANVS has never inspected, or claimed to have inspected an Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) manufactured by Insight Technology. CANVS did however inspect an ENVG manufactured by IT&T's Night Vision Division on two different occasions. It should be noted that it is CANVS' position that any ENVG that met the US Governments requirements as stipulated in the associated ENVG calls for proposals and subsequent contracts are infringing on the CANVS patent (US Patent Number 6,911,652)."



Joseph J. Zito (Attorney for CANVS):

"Far from "paired down" CANVS' case significantly advanced forward. The Government's only defense to its direct theft was invalidity and the Government lost that issue. The case is almost over for the government, which is now left without viable defenses or excuses. The government's incredulous claim, that some government employee named Hansen invented a fused goggle ten years before Mr. Walkenstein, was summarily rejected by the United States Court of Claims."

If there are any questions feel free to contact me via email (jon@canvs.com) or phone (305) 582-3301.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter,

Sincerely,

Jonathan Alexander Walkenstein President, CANVS Corporation

Note: On FR 07MAR14 They "fixed" the factual error (this is not technically a "retraction"), but asked me not to post the corrections...about what I expected.
