CityWare LLC was a Colorado formed company by Nate Neel in 2004.
I personally moved from Broomfield to Longview in 2005 looking to promote the business in East Texas.
I was unable to acquire any customers in Texas and closed the company. Sorry, had to get a real job!
PS - CityWare was an Open Source company and only used GPL license or similar code on personal projects - take a look! To Bedrock slim and lawyers, the address you have on file is my home residence by the way - not a business address or office location.
If you need to reach me you can email me at neelsmith at gmail dot com.
To any law firm and company that likes to file false lawsuits and try to involve companies in East Texas in the hope to get an East Texas patent friendly trial - FUCK YOU, you crooks, liars, slim, losers! Business must be bad for Bedrock so they need to sue someone in the hopes of getting money - see how that worked out for SCO Linux - sorry fucks!
Don't worry I will be in court and bring the news with me about your fraudulent lawsuit (since obviously you have NO proof of infringement, since I had no sales or customers on which I could have used the per said patents ) and ignoring my nice emails to the lawyers, stating they made a mistake! I hope Bedrock (or should I say David Garrod) gets what they/he deserves - NOTHING. I hope the big boys counter sue you! You screwed with the wrong company - did you not see "internet marketing guru" ! No wonder layers have a bad name!
I ask that anyone who reads this NOT to do business with the BEDROCK / David Garrod (also a lawyer) crooks and the lawyers they hired (McKool Smith PC in Marshall)! PS - David Garrod to my understanding works on behalf of organizations to ride this world of "fake patents - unworthy patents". Yet here he has purchased or represents a company suing someone that has never even had any business for a patent, just because they want "I assume and seems obvious" trial in the patent friendly area of East Texas! That to me is a slimball and crook.

To Sam Baxter - if you wish to acknowledge my email and realize your mistake on claiming CitiWare in your suit on Bedrocks behalf, then remove any claims against CitiWare / CityWare and I can remove this page and any publicity about filling an invalid lawsuit against a company that never used your patent or for that matter even developed any product sold or used (CityWare only used Open Source code under GPL for personal projects or other employers)!
