Comment on UK Intellectual Property Office Fast Tracks Green Patent Applications by some doubts

some doubts — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:54:38 +0000

I think that the UK and US Patent offices have started to accelerate the green applications just because of the current situation regarding UN talks on sustainable development and unhindered technology transfer of environmentally sound technologies so that every country could use these latest technologies. The trick is that, who gets their green inventions patented first will get the prize by licensing these technologies to other countries who are too late to patent the applications filed to their own offices. I would say that all other countries must hurry up, otherwise they will lose the game.

Parker West Inernational has successfully defended its patented technology in recent litigation. The United States District Court has ruled that Clean Up America, Inc. and Clean Up America Franchise Development Corporation have intentionally infringed on Parker West’s patented mobile wastewtaer reclamation and treatment technolgy by manufacturing, marketing, and distributing the Swabby 48 and Swabby Mothership equipment in the industry. The Court ordered Clean Up America, Inc. and Clean Up America Franchise Development Corporation to pay treble damages to PWI for their intentional patent infringement, and to reimburse PWI for its attorneys’ fees and costs expended to defend its patent. The District Court also ordered Clean Up America, Inc. and Clean Up America Franchise Development Corporation, together with any and all persons or entities in “active participation” with them, to cease and desist their business activities and operations that infringe PWI’s patent, including the use of the Swabby 48 and Swabby Mothership products. Continued use of the wastewater recovery and treatment system is in violation of the Court’s Order. Moreover, because the equipment obtained from CUA infringes on PWI’s patent, PWI is entitled to recover damages going back to the date of start of use of the apparatus.

I’ve been looking at the Smart Car and Honda’s lineup.It’s a fairly tough choice, I live in a somewhat small town and work within 1 mile of my house. The convienence of the Prius makes it a nice choice, but is it necessarily better than the smart car? My main issue with the smart car is its length and weight imagine getting hit by a truck you are practically history! What are your thoughts?

seems like the basis of a good idea. Phones and computers when first thought of were massive and ugly but in time they become easy to manage and looked smart. All we have to do now is thing of a way to do that with these wind turbines. Never knock a good idea because it always comes back on you.
