The missus and I have been working on this project for the past 11 years. Just before Christmas we got this.

Congratulations Rob.
You must be thrilled with that.

Cheers Matt.

Thanks Matt, still a lot to do but this one was a major milepost.:)

If you're inclined here's the text of the application on-line. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2017184767A1/en

Congratulations for what must have been a lot of very hard work Rob. What does "not a grant of patent rights" mean when it clearly says patent rights have been granted.

Hi Chris, Thanks. This thing is the allowance, in otherwords they've decided that our application merits a patent. The next step is to pay them an additional $500, then they 'issue' the patent. We'll then get a certificate with a seal from the Patent Office and along with it our 'patent rights' under the law. Reminds me of this: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/napoleon_bonaparte_108401

I hope it all works out to plan Rob, I have been on the losing end of a patent dispute and finished up just walking away as they had more money than me and made that quite clear at the time.

Fortunately we're not involved in a dispute:fingerscrossed:. We've learned the hard way that if something genuinely new is presented it's an up hill battle to get it accepted in every venue, now to convince the others...

Excellent Rob.

I am sure you are relieved on a number of fronts including the fact that the project is coming to fruition.

I am pleased for you and the fact that in some time in the future we could see you participating on the Forum a little more. :wink:

We've missed your input. 2019 is looking good.

Regards
Paul
