Prove your patent is so genuinely innovative that no one is likely to have come up with this during at least half, if not all, of the patent term being asked for (allow patents to be applied for with a shorter term of the applicant's choosing). Failure to prove means no patent.
The idea of patents in the first place was an incentive to invent or disclose the invention because we would have lacked these innovations without such incentives. Today, very few patents would fit that idea. Today, we only need very few patents. All the rest just puts a drag on the courts, economy, and real innovations.
A TVSS is near useless if you wire the building wrong. And most buildings are wired and/or constructed wrong. For example, if some piece of equipment has its own grounding besides the power ground wire, then surge current coming in from the power line will go through the wires through the TVSS (surprise: they just pass right through the TVSS) and on out to that equipment and out through its ground. But what's worse is that a surge in the opposite direction (caused by a lightning strike or a downed power line outside) will come in through that grounding and have a possible path to somewhere via the power feed coming in. The building DESIGN along with all of the wiring DESIGN needs to be done with surge implications in mind, or it very likely will not be very effective. Fiber for communications does one great thing: it takes that part of the wiring out of the picture. If you can get all of your external communications to come in via fiber, that's even better.
People that are brilliant at business AND brilliant at technology. That person would be the starter of the business. But if a business is started by someone that doesn't meet both requirements, then they need to be brilliant at ONE of them AND also have the personality to GET ALONG with and WORK WELL with people who are brilliant in the other realm.
BIG NO NO: do NOT require someone to be brilliant with both realms. Do not even require them to know much of the other. What is needed here is RESPECT for what someone does know. And that respect needs to work both ways. Ideally someone who is brilliant with business and ignorant of technology should get along with someone that is ignorant of business and brilliant with technology. It may help to have someone that is at least fairly knowledgeable of both to help make that work.
I get to diss manager types in general because I know a few who are absolutely great at what they do. Same for techies.
You actually do have further recurse. For them to confirm the takedown they have to consent to US jurisdiction over the matter. You do not need to take it to Germany. You can simply take it to the Federal court where YouTube is located. See part 3 at the "counterclaim" link that the posted article has.
Or maybe start up some peaceful protests at the Turkish Embassy and consulates. It seems that if Muslims have started this concept of blaming the government for what their people do, then carry it back at them.
If they (or he, Adnan Oktar) submitted the proper counter-claim, then they/he submitted to the appropriate jurisdiction per...
3. The statement: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district in which my address is located, or if my address is outside of the United States, the judicial district in which YouTube is located, and will accept service of process from the claimant."
Sue in that jurisdiction. Send the service process by certified mail to the address provided to YouTube, which should have provided it to you. If the service of process is returned DO NOT OPEN IT so that a judge can open it and see what was really sent and refused. At this point if the defendant did not answer or appear, file a motion to ask the judge for an injunction against the defendant, which can then be served on YouTube to take the video down in their role as agent of defendant.
Actually getting money for losses might be hard. You'd probably have to go to Turkey for that. But within the USA you can get YouTube to take it down, and possibly even get a judgment for damages since it could be argued that the harm took place in the USA. Collecting on the judgment is the hard part if they have no assets in the USA.
Browsers had a lot of bad things done in them over the years. These should just be removed. Start with the Referer (regardless of spelling) field. If the domain is different, don't transmit it. Of course this only scratches the surface. When the user visits another domain, launch a whole new browser in a separate process. Also, do not expose data to a page's client side code about things like navigation to other pages when they are done in different tabs or windows. And when returning the view back to a previously viewed page, just view the previous contents... do NOT reload the page. The only time a page should be reloaded is when the user navigates to it via a link, or presses reload, or the client code for that page requests reloading only itself or a page in the same directory.
Yeah, they can break a lot of functionality that dumb web developers came to depend on. But these are things that never should have been there to begin with.
Problems like this are the result of closed drivers. Hardware manufacturers need to make their hardware interfaces open (keeping internal firmware closed is OK in this regard) and need to make all code that runs in the host CPU anywhere all open source.
One of these days, the police will find Anonymous Coward, and arrest him. But this has been a difficult search given the wide range of IP addresses he uses to make these posts.
Flash is an abomination. Video doesn't need client side programming. It just needs a decent player like mplayer and a video file in a standard format (like Dirac, Theora, or VP8).
Oh, and the color film can also be the original color negative. Just get an extra LED at the color masking wavelength(s) and you'd have more accurate conversion of color to positive than even the original film printing process. Most motion picture films were shot on negative film with a process similar to photo films of the day.

Pics or it didn't happen.
Are these 3D printer "apps" encrypted?
Just don't use this patent in the milling machines you make with your milling machines.
... from using this patent if I don't pay the royalties on it? Oh wait!
You work for Monsanto or something?

OMG! I've been hunting for years! Now I know where Anonymous Coward is, and how he seems to get so much bandwidth.

Spam still makes up the majority of E-Mail traffic. That you don't see it does not mean the problem has disappeared.
E-Mail is still around?
I just give out a random one, different each time.
Can we get rid of Flash, now?

Why is THIS case one where it is better to be safe than sorry, and NOT all the others? What's so special about THIS case?
So are you saying it is all your fault?

Worry more about the bots doing automated take downs now days.
The porn ones were stolen. This is what was left behind.
We can do this today with a synchronized bank of LEDs that flash in color rotation with the camera frames (black and white film or monochrome sensor).
Oh, and the color film can also be the original color negative. Just get an extra LED at the color masking wavelength(s) and you'd have more accurate conversion of color to positive than even the original film printing process.
