I can only hope that stories like these are few and far between. Lee, I tried to make a difference, but all I really accomplished was to post the story for posterity.

A search for <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22v.+ugmode%22" rel="nofollow">["v. ugmode"]</a> is instructive. Sorry if I'm being a bit indirect. Given that my present employer has its own visual search technology, I'm being careful. In contrast, my previous employer had nothing to do with this space. I encourage you to do the research and come to your own conclusions. You're also welcome to comment here, but I'll be somewhat constrained in my replies. Modista was incorporated as Ugmode, Inc.

Just curious to know what was the patent that effectively prohibited Modista from operating. Any hints on which company blocked the operation of Modista?
