ZPEnergy.com - Patent advice

From KeelyNet list: Hola Randy et al!

Thank you for a most informative email. Both Don Lancaster and George Wiseman are NOT in favor of patents, however, I will share your inside comments with the list as it has information which would be useful for many of us;

Dear Jerry,

I've recently stumbled across KeelyNet and find it fascinating. Perhaps I'm more of a skeptic (in the true sense: Show me, NOT "they're ain't no sich animal") than your are.

However, I applaud your insistence on POP. I think that is exactly the right approach.

Now, as to patents. I should become a registered patent attorney later this year. I see what I consider a LOT of misinformation about the patent system on your forum.

A few points:

1. It is not that expensive to get a patent, just long and tedious. Check out "Patent It Yourself" by the Nolo Press. If you are not an attorney or agent, the examiner is REQUIRED to help you with it. If you were the examiner, wouldn't that make your day/week/year to be the one who approved the patent on working free energy?

These people get a chuckle out of the conspiracy talk about them -- they are just GS-9/10/11/12 civil servants.

2. If you had a free energy patent that demonstrably worked, I can find you a bunch of Patent Attorney firms that would take the defense for a percentage.

Who could buy them off when they would potentially make billions on the patent? Something like this, a large, high-dollar item (the RhinoHydro machines are $8K) is easier because, after notice, the sellers as well as the makers are liable.

Who is going to be able to produce or sell in any kind of volume and still be able to run at a moments notice?

3. If you were worried about it being classified (I think this is just more of the paranoids acting out...), just apply and get a filing date.

The day after that, before anyone could find it, read it and classify it, send it to 5000 of their closest friends on KeelyNet.

It would be a little difficult to classify if thousands of people have a copy and send it to thousands of their friends. ;-)

Your protection is from the filing date, not the approval date.

You need to put a statement on the email that the plans must only be used for experimentation, not commercial development.

No one can be sued until the patent is granted but your rights are protected. I could go on but I have to have a life also. :-)

Keep up the good work,

Randy
