What is the difference between an issued patent and a published patent?
A published patent refers to the publication of a patent application, which is be reviewed by the Patent Authority (USPTO, EPO, JPTO, etc.). Once the merits of the application are acknowledged by the Examiner, process which takes from about to 2 to 4 years, the patent is granted (issued). The difference is that a patent application does not protect the inventor from any potential infraction to his/her inventive matter, and the inventor is allowed to start civil actions against the infractor, only once the patent is granted.

What kind of phone came after the first ones?
In 1908, U.S Patent 887,357 for a wireless telephone was issued to Nathen B. Stubblefield of Murray,KY. He applied this patent to "cave radio" telephones and not directly to cellular telephony as the term is currently understood. Two years later Lars Magnus Ericsson installed a telephone in his car, although this was not a radio telephone. I do not have explain the whole story but now Ericsson cell phones are very popular. If you are interested in this subject it is very well worth your time to research.

Is Cracker Barrel pegboard game patent enforceable?
Depends upon whether it is a utility patent or a design patent, when it was filed and when it was issued, and the relevant prior art. A utility patent for a triangular peg game would most likely be unenforceable as such puzzles have been out there for hundreds of years. There are specific articles about how to solve such puzzles in the mathematical press since the 1960s. A US utility patent from the 1960s, if valid, would have expired 17 years after being issued. There have been peg puzzle patents in the USA since at least 1891, e.g., USP 462,170, the "Smith puzzle" and 484,882, the "Rickert puzzle".
How long can a patent remain pending?
A patent can remain pending for many years. Some patent applications are divided as they progress, allowing various embedded inventions to become patented while other claims to related inventions in the same application are further examined. I have personally worked on patents that were over 14 years old, and still "pending" in the sense that more patents could be issued on it.
