  4. Skydiverek,

    Same as above, I never heard of this. If it was the case, we should be at least aware. It is another urban legend??

  5. Jerry 81,

    Could you let me know more about this??
    I am the owner of the company and I have never heard this story. You can use my e-mail [email protected] to answer or keep going in this post, as you want. I need to know where and if you know the name of the owner of this rig.
    Beside this I would be very surprised to see the involvement of 1 cm MLW difference into line twists except if it is a very small size canopy??

  12. Thank you to have understand what I pointed concerning patent. Both system work exactly the same way and have exactly the same purpose. The only difference is on the material used to make it works. Because of these reason it cannot, normally patented. The problem is coming from the organisation in charge of patents, they do not care of this and just think about making money with their fees. They do not take any responsability for patents they give, even if invention cannot been patented.
    To answer to mjosparky, I am not a webmaster and mainly in English, try to do the same in a foreign language and you will see. Please stay cool with foreign people who tried to give infos to a nice thread.

    Your statements have no merit of law. The patent is valid and has standing in the courts. Until you can cite a ruling otherwise, anything further that you have to say about this issue is irrelevant.



    Novelty And Non-Obviousness, Conditions For Obtaining A Patent

    In order for an invention to be patentable it must be new as defined in the patent law, which provides that an invention , or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country, before the invention thereof by the applicant for patent,” or “(b) the invention was patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country or in public use or on sale in this country more than one year prior to the application for patent in the United States . . .”

    In this connection it is immaterial when the invention was made, or whether the printed publication or public use was by the inventor himself/herself or by someone else. If the inventor describes the invention in a printed publication or uses the invention publicly, or places it on sale, he/she must apply for a patent before one year has gone by, otherwise any right to a patent will be lost. The inventor must file on the date of public use or disclosure, however, in order to preserve patent rights in many foreign countries.


    Is this enough infos for you? This is exactly why it, normally, couldn't be pattended.

    He does licencing it, but it doesn't have any value in a trial because of the previous one made several years ago.



    US Patent Office:

    "If the inventor describes the invention in a printed publication or uses the invention publicly, or places it on sale, he/she must apply for a patent before one year has gone by, otherwise any right to a patent will be lost. The inventor must file on the date of public use or disclosure, however, in order to preserve patent rights in many foreign countries."


    Even if the systems were exactly the same, which I doubt, it appears Mr. Fradet forfeited his rights to the system by not taking action years ago.

    If you can proove that the final use of your system was the same, the licencing will not be valid. When you apply for a patent you (the applicant) must be sure that this patent request doesn't not already exist. This was the case with the hip ring developped by RI. This application was already used by Russian many decades ago and the patent lost its value.

  16. He cannot licencing it because he is not the inventor of this system. It has been developped by Eric Fradet and first commercialized by Parafun (French company) in 1999.
