Re: Prior Art (Hypothetical question)[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Patent Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by cuckoo on February 28, 2003 at 09:36:24: In Reply to: Prior Art (Hypothetical question) posted by Williamy on February 18, 2003 at 01:56:54: Ok, yes, his light bulb is prior art. That is not good for him though. An inventor is never happy that his old inventions can be used to generate an anticipatory or obviousness type rejction of his claims. Makes sense
: Suppose Thomas Edison had NOT patented the light, bulb, but was obviously the inventor by having reduced it to practice. Then later other people created different variations on the light bulb. For example a black light etc.
