: Okay, I've done some reading and I see that infringement is held if the *claims* for both patents are same. Basically, I'm wonder how "doctrine of equivalence" applies to the below case:

: My situation is that my idea differs with a current pending patent on two claims. I will be explicit w/o revealing anything about my idea:

: The pending patent and my idea differ substantively on I) method of data storage and II) method of transmission and receiving. That is, a difference of two claims, which are explicit in the pending patent.

:
: So now my questions:

: The above claims concern a patent which is PENDING.

: A) How does this affect my chances of being granted a patent? You know, prior art/"doctrine of equivalence" and all that.

: B) Does another similar patent pending hurt my chances of being able to license/sell a patent?

: Again thanks for you time. I'd love to get more than one opinion on this.

: cheers

Dear ktpr,
If the doctrine of equivents was effective with games there would be more game patents. The trademark like MONOPOLY lasts forever. MONOPOLY is about 70 or more years old.
