Bob, I believe the number of ‘inventors’ named on rejected cold fusion patents is far more than 30. Of course my effort is asking for people with such standing to participate in sharing some initial information is in part an effort to get some real data on this number! I know of more than half a dozen who are named as ‘inventors’ alongside me on rejected CF patents.
One always needs permission of the government to sue the government but in this case past and current events have them very well cornored and they’ll not be able to slither away. Of course they can, and might, declare this field secret at any time and cover their asses but then secret negotiations would follow. I think the government will choose to pay off we few surviving wronged inventors out of court rather than engage in a public stewing of the USTPO in a cannibal’s pot full of self-heating heavy water! In helping prepare the cannibal’s stew pot picnic you and many others can help without having ‘standing’ the more people supporting this by standing by to witness it and support the effort the better… they can be an ‘amicus curiae cannibali’ ;) From: Bob Higgins [mailto:rj.bob.higg...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2016 10:07 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:LENR INFO- a smaller, bitter issue Russ, have you estimated the number of people that would have standing in such a case against the USPTO? I think, to have standing, an inventor would have had to make a LENR patent application that was rejected. They may be later found to have been rejected for reasons other than LENR, but forget that for now. How many inventors do you believe have actually submitted LENR patents and have been rejected? I suspect the number would be less than 30. While personally I would be sympathetic, I would have no standing in such a case for not ever having filed a patent application for LENR. >From what Mitchell Swartz told me at ICCF-13, he was very frustrated with what he believed was intentional subterfuge by the USPTO in his applications. It would be interesting to hear if there would be other conditions that would expand the group size that would have standing in such a suit. Also, because the USPTO is a government agency, don't you need some kind of congressional approval to sue them?
