You seem to be having trouble understanding what I'm arguing. I'm not arguing what first to invent is I'm arguing the time period for which that argument is viable. Like I have been saying before after reducing to practice you must file for a patent within at least a year after going to market. I don't really care if you think my friend exists or not but your arguing something else entirely. I'll repeat it one more time and maybe you will understand what I'm saying. First to Invent is only applicable if the invention is reduced to practice and then filed for a patent in a reasonable amount of time (around a year). Hence no you can not sell frisbees for 5 years without applying for a patent and expect to win an interference hearing. |
It would have been so much easier if you had been clear about your position from the start. Then I could have said "duh, my example was an exaggeration" and not wasted time on this.
Oh well. Please be more specific about your points next time. Spending my time convincing you of something you already know is disappointing.
