Pat, why, how, how much, and strength?

Finally, a little story I heard about an inventor who gouged his patent which illustrates the dangers. This is also the inventor himself recounted his misadventure with humor.

Mr X is technician lifts and invented a system to a broken elevator is automatically set in front of the nearest exit. The invention is simple, economical and remove all lifts incidents where people were trapped for hours or even whole weekend.
Several patent purchase offers made to him by professionals but a big company offered him the deal of the century: she buys him all rights to his patent against payment of a significant% of the amount of all facilities that they will do with its system. The company is the market leader, calculations and supporting figures, expected earnings were $ in millions, and even counsel for the inventor did not see the scam.

At the end of the sales meeting, as soon as the contract is signed, the inventor no longer owns his invention, the new owner takes patent and puts it in the trash, explaining that breakdowns and people stuck in elevators especially on weekends, represented for them a very profitable business they wanted to continue to use! ...
The contract specified the payment of a% on systems with anti failed system ... The system was never installed!

when the owner of a patent does not operate, anyone can make using this idea! patent provides a monopoly, but if the owner does not exploit it does not prohibit anyone else to exploit

alas the Patent law is poorly known ... and that's the worst alas who know how to enjoy

the problem of patent is lamentable for all that is anti polution process: it would be global interest that all anti polution good idea to be realized maximally for the benefit of the whole world ... alas many plant still has poluer because it does not have the means to pay the license of a patent permetrait to cleaner

it is also that the world scientific community should find a way to reward the inventor completely different patent system

I heard yesterday a program on patents (in this case on mobile phones) which annalysait whether or not patents and their promotional role or inventions blocking opposite (do we know that a simple smartphone incorporates 5.000 patents) Or each patent concerns only a small part of technological product and thereby becomes unavoidable. Manufacturers therefore have only one option: collaboration.
So between the wire sliced ​​bread (not to circumvent, since its basic simplicity) and the smartphone, there are a range of inventions, much of which never real industrial interest. Exple: kle water engine that is complex to make it reliable for use automobiile for example, but not on fixed positions. So a patent, according to its industrial impact, perhaps the best as the worst solution.

Well ... after some thought I decided to see what happens if an invention reveals to the world on the web! It is RIGHT HERE !...

[chatelot16]

you can see that the counter increases rapidly

So when you publish online is published! even if it does not stay long online you can be sure there will be copies to the other side of the world

and the counter counts only different IP addresses, when you go on your page several times to find a way to block the automatic return it does not increase the counter

I reactivates the debate to announce that, unfortunately "the invention" did not pass the first test of the search for prior art!

One device was believed that innovative and entered in the control chain of the hybrid horse-drawn car was found in the depths of a US patent text dating from 1962 !!!!

But all is not lost!

First of all because our device is simpler, more economical and more efficient, this qi can possibly allow to consider a "patent of improvement" (it is a concept which I discovered),

and then because the US patent remains very restrictive in the implementation of said device. It would also appear that various current applications can be very largely optimized with said improved device. To be continued...

Finally, a little game:

Like the wire sliced ​​bread, which patents do you know who are extremely simple, even banal?

For example: which patent with a piece of paper and a little glue? the stamp, the post-it!

[chatelot16]

an improvement patent is much stronger than the first patent for an invention

the improvement patent is even easier to get around by another different development of the first patent

it really becomes a legal expert of history must be a lucrative market after hoped to earn money

A notice given by a consulting engineer in industrial protection:
France, if you do not have strong shoulders financially, think twice before you jump into a patent.
Not because it's expensive, but because the mentality of the French leaders that they adopt the strategy of copying shamelessly knowing that the legal proceedings to enforce its rights are long, expensive and uncertain, and therefore only sustainable by large financially strong and armed to defend boxes.

It is the "strategy" of drowning the fragile owner of a patent in a financial and legal imbroglio, the time to copy and exploit his patent while playing the extension.

Unlike other countries, France is characterized by a failure to respect the work of others. Another French peculiarity.

I signed a contract of association with a "businessman" who offers to make the advances to finance the patent, if the latter passes all the stages ...

Some of my friends to whom I showed the contract concerned that this is a scam that will enable the financial recover all rights to the eventual patent!

Are there lawyers among you who can advise me?

help ...
