Ray Perkins is an inventor and founder of Eco World Group LLC

Ray is originally from Florida but resides in North Carolina. He is also a co-founder of Eco Agro Resources and he and his Eco Agro team developed a slow-release compound for urea-based fertilizers that reduces water pollution by 30%, helping prevent red tide and algae blooms.

Patents owned by Ray's team were attacked first by Koch Industries in regular court, then by Solvay at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and his inventions were then invalidated (revoked).

“They filed with PTAB two petitions against us and after a long fight, our patents and claims were invalidated,” Ray explained. "The patent had to do with a prominent manufacturing process, and they combined that with an old obscure Chinese patent, which had nothing to do with putting this sparse coating on.”

Yet, the Administrative Patent Judges (APJs), who are not actual judges and are not trained, expert patent examiners, concluded the old Chinese way opened the door to 'prior art.' Even worse is the fact that Ray’s opportunity to address and argue his case at the PTAB was ignored, never granted.

He owns a sister company, World Source Enterprises, that utilizes the patents and innovations developed by Eco Agro to specialize in curing Red Tides, Algae bloom outbreaks and hypoxia currently in the Chesapeake Bay and Gulf of Mexico.
