- If Bell could prove prior invention
-
Notarized notes, registered mail, whatever, he would have been "first to invent" and could have had the patent overturned. Likely he did, since the thelephone company got its start as the Bell System - otherwise it would have been the Otherguy System.
Europe has long had a "first to file," and I think the U.S. may have cahnged in the past ten years with Trilateral harmonization. If so, there could now be cases like your story. - Posted by: IT_User Posted on: 08/14/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
