I am sorry to hear about your tribulations, but regarding the patent: you do not own the patent. You assigned your rights to the invention to the Deparment of Energy in December 2012, after the patent application was filed but before the patent issued.

It’s costing me $6500 to replace the power meter on my house. I cannot afford this expense. Can the power company be held liable?
answered on Sep 26, 2023

When someone comes in to buy a carton we are made to ring up 10 individual packs so the customer pays more and doesn’t get a deal, wouldn’t this be considered price gouging since they are supposed to be sold a whole and not 10 individual packs.

This is awful. You need to contact the utility immediately to have service restored in your own name. Deduct from rent what you must pay. Your landlord is prohibited from doing this to force you out, it is in a statute, I believe Civil Code 1941.6, or close to it. You need to retain an attorney... View More
