To me, it looks like you already do everything you possibly could to verify their status. Make copies of their documents, document what you checked and the results. What can be held against you in court? An additional thing to check does not change your current position of having done the things that can reasonably be expected of you.
The last time I used it (Outlook 2003), any attempt to quote properly resulted in a catastrophic mess of unintended indention and color and misattribution of lines. Did they fix this basic function of an email client in the meantime?
It does. Consumer surplus (CS) is defined as the difference between the individual reservation prize they are willing to pay (p1) and the actual prize they have to pay (p2).
p2 CS = p2 - p1 p2 == p1 => CS = 0
p2 > p1 => no transaction, no consumer surplus.
Perfect prize discrimination means p2 == p1 for everyone. SUM CS = 0
While I generally agree to your post, the focus should not be about how fast and well he can put out fires. Unless the company is on fire and you are looking for someone to manage a crisis.
Theft, crisis and loss should not be what take 95% of his time. Management work consists mostly of repetative, non-exciting things. I would rather like to know how he gives positive and nagative feedback, how he addresses different personality types of his directs, how does his weekly meeting with each direct, how he manages training of his directs, how he does performance reviews, how he runs meetings. How does he do it , what methods does he use? Using role play for these scenarios would probably work well.
Not only that, but the consumer surplus does not increase with prize differentiation. Just the contrary. The gained profit comes from the previous consumer surplus. With perfect prize diffentiation, the consumer surplus is zero.

But they operate in the EU as well and have quite some offices, so Google as a cooperation has to adhere to local laws for business they do in the EU. The physical location of the server does not matter.
> they're not marketing gmail.de, it's gmail.com
They are marketing a "GMail" service (no TLD). Google wants to use "GMail" as a name (the domain is just a bonus, the dispute is about the trademark "GMail"), the current owner claims to have older trademark rights to the name in Germany.
> How can the EU prevent its citizens using gmail.com,
They don't prevent you at all. You can go to the US site and register and use this access.
> and require that they use g-mail.de (or whatever) instead?
Currently, Google may not use the name "GMail" for its service in Germany (= advertising and offering a service to the people in Germany under the name "GMail"), as this would infringe an older trademark hold by some other guy. A trademark must not be 100% identical (gmail vs g-mail), if it concerns the same field of business and bears a high probability of being confused (and some other additional conditions). This is the current situation in this legal dispute.

Given the quality of cell phone cameras, the caller will have to approache this suspicious man and take a picture from 2m distance. I can't see how this could fail. He could probably also ask the person to smile for the camera.

Commondity means the products are perceived as interchangable. The iPhone was created to be unique and significantly better than the other offerings. And this is how it looks like. More so, how do you know the iPhone is not high-margin for Apple?
> not an area where Apple has expertise (niche products, high margins).
If their offer has been a me-too, $9.99 with 2-year-plan phone, I would agree. But they do not do this.
The typical car is a low-margin commodity. Yet, Porsche is making a buttload of money with their high-margin niche offering.
Well, Suzuki markets the R-1000 with "own the racetrack". But they refuse any warranty if you indeed use it on for racing. KTM also refuses any warranty if you use their competition-ready enduros (and they are) in competition.
They might not know it, but if they don't, they have to educate themselves before they do something. Microwave ovens are marketed as "for heating food". If they go with "I just try it" ( = experiment ), they have to live with the negative consequences, if they are any.
I and a few guys were doing customer phone support in a remote building (ten years ago or such some). Soccer euro cup was up, and a collegue was desperate to find a way to watch the games, as the company (ISP) has just started operation, and callers were few and knowledable (so it was actually fun). Opening the cable funnel, he saw a TV cable. He spliced it up and connected it to a RJ45 jack. He then installed a TV tuner card into his PC, build a network cable look-alike to connect the TV card to the fake network jack, and voila - you could not see he was tapping the TV signal (the cable funnel was very visible, the computer was under the desk).
As we left the building about a year later, the fake jack was left there. I wonder what kind of head scratching this caused for the future tenants:-)

No, it is not. Google does not return JSON data, it returns Javascript code. The embended call of the "google()" function with the contact data is the problem. Would it return just a JSON object, it would be inaccessible to the foreign page.

So if you do not know someone, you have no respect for him initially? How about you start with respect, which can be lost through bad action?

I also do not have the impression this is something even remotely common here in Germany. Maybe he is thinking about Japan.

The first line is supposed to read p2 > p1 => CS = p2 - p1
It does. Consumer surplus (CS) is defined as the difference between the individual reservation prize they are willing to pay (p1) and the actual prize they have to pay (p2).

Only looking into the patent DB is a bit short sighted, no? Prior art does not have to be patented, no?

Asking the developer if this is an original idea is not part of their research into the matter?
