    Default What I've been working on while away from WWF

    The missus and I have been working on this project for the past 11 years. Just before Christmas we got this.



    Needless to say we are very pleased.

    Thanks Matt, still a lot to do but this one was a major milepost.

    If you're inclined here's the text of the application on-line. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2017184767A1/en

    Congratulations for what must have been a lot of very hard work Rob. What does "not a grant of patent rights" mean when it clearly says patent rights have been granted.

    Hi Chris, Thanks. This thing is the allowance, in otherwords they've decided that our application merits a patent. The next step is to pay them an additional $500, then they 'issue' the patent. We'll then get a certificate with a seal from the Patent Office and along with it our 'patent rights' under the law. Reminds me of this: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/n...naparte_108401

    I hope it all works out to plan Rob, I have been on the losing end of a patent dispute and finished up just walking away as they had more money than me and made that quite clear at the time.

    Fortunately we're not involved in a dispute. We've learned the hard way that if something genuinely new is presented it's an up hill battle to get it accepted in every venue, now to convince the others...

    Excellent Rob.

    I am sure you are relieved on a number of fronts including the fact that the project is coming to fruition.

    I am pleased for you and the fact that in some time in the future we could see you participating on the Forum a little more.

    We've missed your input. 2019 is looking good.

    Regards

    Thanks, Paul and Matt. I'm really wanting to get back to this stuff, feeling pretty exhausted ATM.
