- If there IS prior art.. find it...
-
Find Prior Art, Send to Interested Parties and the magic begins...
It's not hard to challenge a patent, it is invalidated [not revoked] and an investigation begins to see if the patent is truly valid or if prior art invalidates and revokes the patent.
If there is prior art, and no provisional application [which can be up to one year prior to the application], then patenting the technology is not possible.
Patents are NOT hard and fast rules that cannot be challenge. And ANYONE can challenge a patent. - Posted by: TheProtector Posted on: 08/30/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
