0808 - Summary/Objective
0809 -
080901 - Follow up
080902 -
080903 - Received Leo's letter ref DRT 1.
080904 -
080905 -  ..
080906 - It indicates IBM finds the POIMS and SDS spec, ref OF 1, which was
080907 - submitted to IBM at ref DIP 1, has features that "...would certainly
080908 - be an improvement on [IBM's] current problem management system."....
080909 - ref DRT 2 0876.  Leo specifically cites SDS features:
080910 -
080911 -      •  Hyperlinked related files
080912 -      •  Integration of personal scheduling system
080913 -
080914 -    [On 940114 IBM's marketing team concurred. ref SDS 4 5380]
080915 -
080916 - Leo also states IBM's requirements have been met by other products,
080917 - ref DRT 1 0446, but that he is passing along POIMS and SDS concepts to
080918 - other IBM units. ref DRT 1 9869
080919 -
080920 -  ..
080921 - This action does not entirely comport with our understandings at
080922 - ref SDS 1 9605, where I asked Leo to submit the SDS & POIMS spec to
080923 - the other unit, so it would be appropriately identified as Welch
080924 - property. Leo's letter suggests this matter could get lost in the
080925 - shuffle.
080926 -
080927 - I responded at ref DIT 1 to assert my property rights in POIMS and
080928 - SDS.
080929 -
080930 - I also confirmed in a second letter, ref DIT 2 0976, my telecon on
080931 - 940114. ref SDS 3 9482, asking about the schedule for demonstrating
080932 - SDS, as agreed with Nick in our discussion on 940110. ref SDS 2 9076.
080933 -
080934 - Sent a copy of IBM's letter, my letter and this record to Morris for
080935 - information and comment.
080936 - ..
080937 - Also sent copy for Mark Davis' file, since he mentioned this
080938 - matter at the SDS demo the other day.
