`
`Leighton —
`
`It has been extremely busy as you have guessed. The launch date is delayed until late June/early July due to a
`delay in a key software feature from Navic. I am making every effort to return the document to you with some
`form of drawings in electronic form by the end of this week. I will be in NY all next week for funding meetings,
`then on Oahu briefly the following week — I will see you then. I will email you with a status, hopefully the actual
`document, by Friday.
`
`thanks,
`
`mdp

`Subject: Patent Application
`
`Hi Milton --
`
`I know you've probably been extremely busy, but I have to put in another reminder that at least a
`provisional application should be filed as soon as possible in advance of any "online" or"trial" date for the
`new national drill-down ad or consumer classified ad service, in order to avoid a possible loss of any
`foreign and U.S. patent rights you may have therein.
`
`When we last spoke, you mentioned that that date might be the end of May. Since I have already
`prepared a lengthy patent specification, awaiting only the completion of your system and component
`architecture drawings and core logic diagrams, you should consider the option of authorizing me to go
`ahead and file a provisional application with the specification "as is" and with only your handdrawn
`sketches, or even with no sketches, by tomorrow, the last day before the end of May. It would be better
`to claim a filing date ahead of the publication date, even if the filing is somewhat incomplete. When you
`have completed the drawing materials and I have reworked the application into final form, it can then be
`filed as a formal application claiming the benefit of the provisional filing date.
`
`Pis let mw know if you concur with this approach. If so, please fax your handdrawn sketches which we
`used in our meetings to my office fax number 531-7585.
