Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Can the government prevent him from getting a patent? Has anyone else tried to patent a Rife device? How will this effect availability? > If the patent application was filed in May of 2004, it would not be published until November of 2005. Therefore, we have no way of knowing whether or not he has elected to publish or not publish his patent applications. That being said, he may opt out of the 18 month publication if he believes that the claims may be rejected by the patent office and he would still want to retain his invention as a trade secret, or he may wish to avoid giving the world a heads up on his invention if he believes the time period of prosecution in the patent office will be lengthy (sometimes it takes several years), which would give his competition a long period of time in which to use the invention before it is patented. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
