Snapshot Points [Re: Battelle defrauding small business (violating False Claims Act), DOE having taxpayers fund perjury, and breaching national security (e.g., air cargo explosives)]

 

Battelle misused/defrauded DOE’s Technical Assistance Program that funded development of the Mobile Data Manager [MDM] software for Pulver’s small business.

Namely, it withheld/kept the DOE-funded working MDM version from Pulver who was granted worldwide exclusive license to market, sell & develop follow-on versions.

 

Battelle delivered a non-working version to him on 8/29/03.  Their documents, testimony & experts confirm Battelle withheld the working version that they nominated for R&D 100 Award, adapted to BlackBerry, renamed, patented and pursued commercialization. Two 2003 sets of MDM versions thus exist:  Working  &  Non-Working. 

Battelle implicates itself:  After admitting MDM worked 3 months before delivery, Battelle asserts right to deliver an unworkable version: “zero...less than a Barbie Doll”. Calling that “ridiculous” & based on extensive evidence, judge denied Battelle’s 2008 motion to dismiss Pulver’s breach of contract claim [withholding working version].

 

PNNL documents & testimony confirm: (i) Dept. of Homeland Security Radiation Portal Monitor Project [RPMP] in 2004-05 funded Battelle to adapt MDM to BlackBerry that’s used by installers of radiation monitors at US ports & borders; (ii) Battelle knew adapting MDM to BlackBerry greatly increased its commercial market potential.

 

In 2005, after acknowledging Pulver’s exclusive license to BlackBerry MDM version, Battelle calls it "new code” unrelated to MDM [a.k.a. “PDAC” (Battelle’s alias/rename)], wrote “NEW” invention report [“RDADS”], reset/evaded prior statutory patent deadlines/bars [re: MDM], applied for patent and commercialized RDADS despite his license.

 

Evidence & admissions prove Battelle misrepresents inventions to USPTO [patent office] [False Statements 18 USC §1001].  RPMP-funded MDM versions & RDADS invention report [with 2006 filing deadline] would confirm testimony Battelle filed a 2005 patent application for RDADS that’s 2002 MDM inventions with expired 2003 deadlines.

 

Battelle documents & testimony confirm:  (i) RPMP MDM [PDAC] versions would show the actual 2003 MDM software worked and was enhanced [e.g., BlackBerry]; (ii) To hide evidence, MDM developer Dorow & DOE-funded counsel Miller are misrepresenting DHS research by falsely claiming RPMP junked MDM and developed “new & different” software [RDADS] that’s irrelevant and “must” be withheld; (iii) Refuted is Battelle’s denial of investing in RDADS/RFID commercial venture [re: Cargo].

In sum, Battelle’s misrepresenting RPMP & ventures to court is concealing evidence of Dorow’s misusing TAP [withholding software from the small business for whom DOE paid Battelle to develop thus violating the False Claims Act.  Dorow has top-secret Q clearance access to classified material [DHS Air Cargo Explosives Detection Program].

“New Code” Emails:  After confirming Pulver exclusivity to 2005 MDM/PDAC, Battelle calls “new code”, says "Pulver is toast...hope no one subpoenas'” & patents “NEW” invention [RDADS].

 

Misrepresenting Inventions to USPTO [Deadlines Evaded]:  (1) Battelle admits circumventing statutory bars by writing "NEW" invention reports on prior inventions to reset “timeframes”.

(2) Suddenly calls MDM/PDAC “new code" in 2005, renames ‘NEW” invention to “RDADS”, resets patent filing deadline to 2006 [from 2003].  [Confirmed by Battelle testimony & documents]
