Thank You – You Know Who You Are

I had a really nice voicemail last week about PHOSITA and FedCirc.us – thank you so much for the encouragement and support.

I would really enjoy speaking with you about these projects – but you didn’t leave me a phone number where I could call you back.  So… you know who you are – drop me an email and let me know how I can contact you.

Yes, this does seem extremely mysterious and all… so, if it doesn’t make any sense to you – simply ignore and head over to FedCirc.us for some enlightenment (how is that for a shameless plug?)

Inventor article : snarky or inspiring?

An uplifting inventor article? 

Well, the Northwest Indiana News has an interesting way to lead into a story:

Herbert Bigelow has an invention. So what. He also has a patent pending. Big deal.

And I thought PHOSITA could get a bit snarky from time to time.

A Patent Application or a Soapbox?

Wow… wow…. all I can say is … wow.

U.S. Patent Application No. 2004/0161257 has this little nugget in it as claim number 9.

I applaud whoever drafted the application for their sense of spunk, but you really have to wonder…. what were they thinking?

Personally, if there was an oath/declaration signed by the inventor (also — PDF version) and filed in the application stating that the inventor had read and understood the application to accurately reflect their invention - I would be worried that claim 9 could cause some problems down the line.

Once again… wow… all I can say is … wow.
