(See the webpage on innovation patents at ipaustralia.gov.au.) An innovation patent that has not been certified is nearly worthless in the context of patent licensing negotiations, patent sales, or patent enforcement actions.<br /><br />Keogh's joke is lame. Patent systems become ridiculous when they fail to scrutinize applications sufficiently. Filing a patent application that declines scrutiny cannot show that a patent office once again failed to scrutinize an application.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620165642037025659.post-55212585918353313142014-07-18T11:47:39.251-04:002014-07-18T11:47:39.251-04:00I can't speak to the other jurisdictions, but ...I can't speak to the other jurisdictions, but U.S. Pat. No. D690,429 is a design patent, not a utility patent. Design patents are very narrow in scope and only directed to the ornamental appearance of the patented article. So no, it is not a patent on the wheel. It is a patent on a particular ornamental wheel design.<br /><br />U.S. Pat. No. 7,980,335 appears novel and not obvious at first glance. Not sure what the problem is here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
