Before the meeting began there was much discussion about whether or
not to hire a copyright lawyer. The discussion centered on how much
it was going to cost, and most people seemed to dislike an open-ended
deal. We agreed to hire the lawyer (I didn't get his name) to do a
copyright or trademark search on AutoCAD. We also discussed hiring
him to review a contract with AlphaMerics. The contract involves us
gaining access to their extensive set of symbol libraries. During the meeting, Jack
and Mike left to review this contract with the lawyer. AlphaMerics
has an exclusive with NEC to package all NEC OEM hardware for CAD. We
discussed AlphaMerics purchasing 200 AutoCADs in a year, 30% in 4
months starting Sept 1 at $450.00 each with a minimum of 10 per
month thereafter.
