RE: [compost_tea] CT and patent piracy.

Perhaps there is a substantial difference in patenting a specific design rather than patenting the action of wormcastings or CT ?

 

The examples Shiva talks about are not about the development of a new device.

.

So I asked for a patent on my tea making system.  Is it a defensible patent?  I don't know. The patent office is years behind in issueing patents.  Would a court hold the method original and defensible?  Maybe.   Why did I ask for the patent?  To try to have a device i could invest an effort in and have enough financial return to let me make it happen.. 

The patent will take all the profits from my business for at least 3 years.  Is it worth the cost?  Probably not.  If the system proves far superior  in tests can they use it in India?  Or elsewhere?  A license would be very low cost.  The license would include help getting the details and the test data to date.   I think we are in this field of activity to help restore the EARTH more than to make money.   Enough money to help make it happen would be nice.
