| PLAGIARISM
NOTICE UPDATE |
SEPTEMBER 1998 |
For the past 10 years, Meru
Foundation's original "flame-letter" sculptures have been misused,
abused, and misrepresented by a self-promoting plagiarist who
masquerades as a scientist, and who is obsessed with the golden mean spiral. Forced association with
this aggressive plagiarist, and his odd, untrue, and unscientific
claims, has damaged our work and our
reputation. Based on its review of the evidence, the United States
Federal
Court for the Western District of New York at Rochester has now
adjudicated
our copyrights as valid and enforceable, has found that the plagiarist
acted willfully and maliciously, and has provided us with proper
remedies.
The plagiarist and his associates also created false and disparaging
personal
and work histories, anti-Semitic characterizations, false claims of
harassment,
and even falsified mathematics to rationalize their behavior. All of
these
claims were dismissed "with prejudice" by the court.
The court-adjudicated
Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order, call for the
maintenance of
a public Corrective
Notice on the Internet.

Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order: click here.

Thank you all for your
patience, your understanding, and your support of the integrity of
Meru's work.
