If I'm not mistaken you'll see a couple of e-mail addresses towards the bottom of the page. And a phone number as well?
Naturally I look forward to full unedited transcripts of these and future proceedings being published in the public domain.

points out that "... I
could sit down and build my own version of Phorm's technology inside of about a month (less if I hired on some contractors.), it's
nothing more than a bit of Deep Packet Inspection and some proxy server tricks.
It's so simple in fact, that I can't understand how they spent so much money developing it. If it were truly worth anything, I'd be on the phone to a VC right about now,...."
looking at the patent, it seems an accurate claim for any reasonable coder team.
and so, that also means there might be prior art already out there, or it might be that its so simple that you might even manage to get it revoked perhaps
i dont know the US patent rules and regs, but perhaps someone that does, can find the company that holds prior art, or can find a way to have the Phorm Patent revoked
cant easly capitalise on a non patent can they
