Re: Re: Re: Patent and multiple embodiments[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Patent Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by Jack on April 30, 2003 at 13:10:34: In Reply to: Re: Re: Patent and multiple embodiments posted by Bill on April 25, 2003 at 01:27:27: Dear Bill, I do not think anyone is trying to discourage you from trying to get a patent. I think that Mr. Auslander is trying to discourage you from doing so on your own. You may get a patent but in the end the value of the patent may be worthless dependant upon the claim scope you are actually able to achieve. Additionally, you need to be very careful about enablement and best mode requirements. As a final word, if you did in fact invent something and it later was patented by a company. You should know that the U.S. is a first to invent system which means even if the company has a patent, it may not be worth anything of someone else was first to invent. If you have saved your paper work and proof of your date of inventio, you might wish to contact an attorney to negotiate with the company. Anyway, good luck in your endeavors. J Carr
