“the old colonialization only took over
land, the new colonialization is taking over life itself.” http://www.inmotionmagazine.com/shiva.html 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. Tom Jaszewski www.livesoil.com 702-595-7012 -----Original
Message----- . 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.
