Re: Patent New Application[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Patent Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by M Arthur Auslander on April 10, 2002 at 23:27:29: In Reply to: Patent New Application posted by Katy on April 10, 2002 at 07:47:19: : If you take an existing product and use it in a new application, can that application be patented? For example: A manufacturing component that has been used in heavy equipment - it will now be used in a commerical personal product. Can you patent that application or do you have to change the design of the manufacturing component to receive a new patent? Dear Katy, If you just want a patent, you can almost always get a patent and spend a lot of money. If you want value then we start with a Reality Check® even before we conduct a patent search. Off hand it sounds as if you can get a patent as you have inquired. M. Arthur Auslander Auslander & Thomas-Intellectual Property Law Since 1909
