: : Reality Check® : I really dont understand what your point is with your cryptic useless posts Auslander... You have a clever knack for pointing out the obvious but dont seem interested in actually helping people here. Doesn't seem like you know all that much. I deal with IP attorneys everyday and very few are smart. I am examiner, but I am a hell of alot smarter than many of these attorneys. Many are incompetent. I've read a great portion of your posts here and you sound like you just want customers. How about establishing some street credibility here?? If a person asks a question, they deserve an answer, not you BS. Dear In the Know,
If you are a patent examiner you may not be acquainted with the real outside world. I wasn't bein cryptic. As I recall from what you said, you were referring to something that had the potential for patentability.
Just having a patent does not mean you have anything of value.
There is a $100M a year plus industry getting patents for inventors. Only one in 10000 get back more than they pay.
The question is not whether you can get a patent but whether it is even worth your while trying.
The CLAIMS of any patent you get must be both broad enough to cover and also not be avoidable by minor variations.
I can't write a treatise hers. The first thing I would do is to do a patent search and evaluate the search art. The I would evaluate what I see against the facts. Patents are expensive, even worthless patents.
I can't solve you problems with generalites. We patented the folded metal polarized electric plug blade. It was shown on the 200th anniverdary Poster for the Patent Statute. M. Arthur Auslander
