Another Raniere patent - Intelligent switching system for voice and data https://patents.google.com/patent/US8068592B2/en?inventor=Keith+A.+Raniere

Inventors: Keith A. Raniere, Waterford, NY (US); Th A. Del City Island, NY; Steven Danzik Spokane, Washington; Saul Miodownik, West Hempsted, NY

Assignee: Global Technologies, Inc., Spokane, WA

Court case: Global Technologies, Inc. vs Microsoft (pdf) https://www.docketbird.com/court-documents/Global-Technologies-Inc-v-Microsoft-Corporation/RESPONSE-of-Appellant-Global-Technologies-Inc-to-the-motion-to-terminate-appeal-12-filed-by-Appellee-Microsoft-Corporation-in-17-2406-Service-09-01-2017-by-email-458411/cafc-2017-02406-01301056038?user_id=guest

Global Tech's attorney is Matthew Stavish of Schmeiser, Olsen & Watts, LLP

On FB Stavish is connected with a Kim Stavish who works at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Defense R&D Gets a Huge Boost Under the 2018 Omnibus - https://www.nextgov.com/policy/2018/03/defense-rd-gets-huge-boost-under-2018-omnibus/146895/

If federal funding for research and development was a lottery, then the Defense Department just hit the jackpot.

The Pentagon would get $89.2 billion to pour into new defense technologies under the 2018 appropriations bill the House passed on Thursday. That’s a $16 billion—or 22 percent—increase from 2017 and $6.5 billion above the agency’s budget request for this year.

Those funds would cover initiatives at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency as well as a handful of critical projects, including the Future Vertical Lift helicopter program, space security systems and the beleaguered F-35 fighter rollout.

National Institute of Standards and Technology

Under the bill, NIST would receive $1.2 billion, with more than 60 percent allocated to helping “advance U.S. competitiveness and economic growth” and a reduction to “lower-priority activities.” The agency, which creates cybersecurity standards for the government and private sector, would’ve lost 18 percent of R&D funds under the president’s proposed budget.

F-35, see comment on Lee Venturino's company with the same name as Raniere's https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/3171446/18151850 Another coincidence

Need to look further into the patent attorney's law firm as they work with government agencies and law firms.

I'm just playing catchup with this thread, thanks to @vindicator - if you catch a law firm name, let me know. If it's DC-based I may be able to add some flavor to the batter.
