When Dr. Gary Michelson the Forbes billionaire sues people and companies, he doesn't just want money. He demands that they give him credit, attribution and stroke his ego. Gary Michelson sued Medtronic, Nuvasive and Zimmer and got a settlement. That was not good enough. He made them put a tribute page to him in their websites. Below are the pages. They read like copy and paste of each other. Gary must have written them.

Gary is not even board certified. He's not a surgeon anymore either. His medical licenses are inactive, expired. He hasn't dedicated his life to finding relief of spinal pain. He's dedicated his life to suing people, getting money, forcing people to kiss his ass, beating people to death with his wallet and filing false criminal complaints against people for personal reasons.
Dr. Gary Michelson also forces them to display a photo of himself taken over 20 years ago that looks nothing like him. He also makes them put stickers that say "Michelson technology at work" on all their products.

| Gary Michelson. This is what he really looks like and this photo makes him look better than he does in person |
If you look at the sitemap for Nuvasive, there is only one tribute page in their website and it's for Gary Michelson. Same with Medtronic. Gary Michelson goes even further. He makes them put his name all over the packaging with stickers. Yes, Gary demanded stickers. I'm amazed Gary didn't force the CEOs of Medtronic and Nuvasive to tattoo his name on their foreheads.
When Gary Michelson was inducted into the patent hall of fame, he himself gave them a 20+ year old photo of himself to post. Gary doesn't look anything like this photo. 20 years ago he used to let his hair grow longer then he'd shape it to make it look like he had a normally shaped head. He's since given up on that and just trims it super short. If you see him in person you can see why others stated he looked like a pin head.

Gary Michelson forced Medtronic to also give him credit for the act of putting an object in someone's back through a guard. Yes, Gary Michelson owns the patent to "putting something in someone's back through a guard."
"Other fusion promoting substances if and to the extent promoted for use in combination with any interbody fusion implant. Systems with literature listing or depicting the following kyphoplasty steps:
Positioning a hollow guard in contact with a vertebra
Placing and instrument in the hollow guard
Moving the instrument to form an opening in the vertebra
Inserting a material through the guard to support the vertebra"
People have been using guards for surgery and home building materials for at least 100 years. Medtronic is willing to give Gary credit for this "system" just so they don't have to end up in a lawsuit with him again. Gary is that abusive in lawsuits. In fact Al Gore recently decided to give Gary Michelson credit for inventing the Internet.
The patent system makes no sense. I should probably patent the system of breathing air. Then I can hold the world hostage until they give me money and wear shirts that say "Mary is the best!"
