Interesting blog to say the least , i’m still rather upset over being scammed by Davidson ( R. Pender) in the amount of 13,000.00 for absolutely nothing from there company ..well organized scam artists is more like it.. As far skipping to the front of the line by throwing money at them … i think it would be better reviewed by a panel that judges the success of that idea /invention.. and have company’s and the like charged hefty fines etc because i have a few good idea’s , i’m now left to consider abandoning any attemps now to persue anymore idea’s just from this incident with Davidson (inventionland). I’m sure i’m not alone !! QUES >> could somebody tell me if there is any way to recover any of my monies paid ?? Thanks in advance. John. P.S All penality monies collected could help real idea’s come to life !

“It is beyond belief that the laws could be written to presume the issuance of a patent, yet applications will remain pending for upwards of 8 years in some technology fields. ”

You love to ignore the statute on when a patent shall issue From The Office. It shall only issue when applicant appears to be entitled to a patent. Let me just tell you, there are a lot of applications that do not appear that way.

35 U.S.C. 151 Issue of patent.

If it appears that applicant is entitled to a patent under the law, a written notice of allowance of the application shall be given or mailed to the applicant.

Btw, you can get an accelerated examination. Although, imo you should be able to just pay 10k or so to the office and skip the front of the line. Maybe have something where you can pay 20k to skip to the very front of the line. Wouldn’t make for too bad of legislation, but that is what it would require.

“By a cooperative examination process that seeks to issue patents we will put exclusive rights more quickly into the hands of innovators, who can then seek investment and build companies that will employ individuals. This will undoubtedly result in the preliminary issuance of narrow patent claims, which could then be expanded upon by continuation after continuation.”

YES!!!!

I agree that there a massive amount of money to be invested. It is only a matter of time until the change will come.
