Patent Zero — The Press Conference Delay transcript

Patent Zero

After being forced out of the company he built, a brilliant inventor discovers that his former partners are nothing without the core patents he still controls. As they scramble to keep their empire afloat, he sets out to reclaim what was taken from him and make them pay for their betrayal.

Based on NOVA's usage over the past five years, the legal team's preliminary estimate the claim at $420,000. The notice to cease using the patents and the emergency application for a preliminary injunctum are ready.

All we need is your final approval. Once the court grants the injunction, every Nova product and service using those patents shuts down immediately. Good thing I sold all my Nova stock on the way here.

Wait, I own some too. Let's go. Mr. Cole, you only took office last night, and you're already hosting today's press conference.

Chairman Reed must really trust you. Nova should have brought in a technical leader who understands partnerships a long time ago. It's all thanks to Chairman Reed's leadership. Without her, Nova wouldn't be where it is today.

Alex Walker. How could you show up this late to such an important press conference? Sorry. I had a few documents to review personally.

You kept over a hundred people waiting, and you think sorry makes it all okay? You're late. Stand.
