Cirquemedia, here's my two-penneth on everything I've read over the threads you've posted on this subject:
I don't know about your designs and I've never been a position to really give shoe boxes a second thought, I don't know how revolutionary they are or how easy they are to protect as intellectual property. That's your area of expertise so I'll bow to your greater knowledge on this. BUT, what I can say is you need to find yourself a partner (or employ a person) who can represent you. A business angel, a PR type or a decent salesperson who can take your work (this product and any other ideas you have on the slate) and sell both the designs and yourself. You need to find this and quick.
I know you make the request for anyone who can help you sell it on your web site, but I mean do it seriously - set up some meetings, go to some networking events etc. Meet some people and offer money or equity to communicate what you want to achieve on your behalf.
Quite simply you don't come across well in this situation. The way you're throwing these accusations around the internet is massively unprofessional (until one of these multi-national companies puts the box out there they are just accusations) and the language you use to try to get across your points is ill-conceived at best. You may be very good at getting across your point in person but everything I've read that you've written makes you sound like a petulant and arrogant guy that would be very difficult to deal with in a business relationship.
I think a person who has a background in selling ideas, promoting concepts or talent could be just what you need.
