Patents and Patent Law

Depending on condition of metal and wood, Stevens double .410s of any age tend to bring in the $300 to $600 range.

No; a charge of misappropriation of trade secrets only requires that the information was subject to reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy.

"Life" as a law of nature/abstract idea/physical phenomena would not meet the Statutory Requirement of patentability under current USPTO regulations - in order to be eligible for patent, the object must be some useful and new (or newly improved) process, manufactured item, machine, or material.

Besides, we've all known about "Life" for so long that even if natural phenomena *were* inherently patentable, it would certainly not make the grade for the Novelty (Newness) Requirement of the patent process.

At least, not in the US.

In the United States, only the United States Patent & Trademark Office. In other nations, the appropriate national counterpart of the USPTO.

That patent date identifies a Stevens single shot.

Savage made three models of automatic pistols, the model 1907 (made 1908-1920), the model 1915 (made 1915-1917), and the model 1917 (made 1920-1928). All of these were made in .32 ACP and .380 ACP caliber. Because Savage pistols were sold internationally (for example, the French military purchased tens of thousands of .32 model 1907s for use in WWI), starting in 1913 Savage stamped both the US/British "inch" caliber and the metric caliber on the top of the slides of its automatic pistols.

.32 ACP = 7.65mm (or "7.65 m/m")
.380 ACP = 9mm (or "9 m-m")

There are a number of 9mm cartridges; the .380 ACP is the same as the 9x17mm, aka 9mm Browning Short, 9mm Corto, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Court, 9mm Short. This is NOT the same as what is commonly meant by "9mm" today, which is the 9x19mm, aka 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger, 9mm NATO, or 9mm Para. It is also different than the 9x18mm, aka 9m Makarov.

November 21, 1905 is the date Elbert Searle was awarded a patent for his pistol design. This design is the basis for all the Savage automatic pistols, and the date is stamped on the top of the slides of all Savage automatic pistol models. It has no connection with a pistol's model or manufacturing date.

It means the canal and foramina are normal in size and allows for nerves to pass through freely without restriction.

ALL US patents expire within a timeframe.

Depends upon which country issued it under that number.

In the USA you can simply look up that number and view a copy of the entire patent online in various websites including the USPTO.gov and Google.

The Patent date tells me that you have a Model 1885 Single Shot. The value can only be determined by a visual inspection and evaluation. There were many different variations of the Model 1885, and nearly (100) different cartridge chamberings, each of which has its own corresponding value range.

A patent or trademark is applied for directly to the US Patent and Trademark office. You must submit drawings, descriptions, and other paperwork proving you have an idea or change to an existing idea that would make the product or item uniquely your own. You are then given a patent number that forbids anyone to use your idea without your permission for a specific period of time, depending on the item. There are also fees involved. A copyright can be issued one of two ways. You can apply for an ISBN number through the Library of Congress or you can simply publish your work. Even putting the copyright symbol on a picture or text is your mark that you are forbidding anyone else to use it without your express permission. But if you are ever pushed into proving you own something in print, you need to be able to date your first copyright of the item. This also is beginning to include internet postings like the one you're reading now.

The answer to this question depends of your definition of a computer. The first known counting devices or tools were Tally Sticks from about 35000 BC.

Patent leather (leather with a high gloss finish) was developed in Belgium c1790. The first patent was by Englishman Edmund Prior in 1799 for his developments in painting and coloring leather. In 1818 Seth Boydon of Newark, NJ improved the quality of patent leather for the manufacturing of garments, shoes and accessories, Boydon never patented any of his innovation's.

Protect new ideas and inventions so the originators receive the credit and can profit from their innovations.

No, in fact there are some hilarious and ridiculous inventions that have been patented and maybe never sold a single commercial unit.

An issued patent gives the patent holder the right to sue an infringer (either someone who affirmatively copied the invention or even someone who innocently constructed the claimed invention without knowledge of the patent) for damages (money) and an injunction (to stop infringing activity).

Well trademarks have commonly been infringed upon by terrorist organizations such as Al Queda and the Taliban. Before the Civil Rights movement the KKK and other anti black organizations would steal copyrights from African Americans and this problem still exists in the South.

This means if you want to be safe when trademarking or patenting you must be a white man who funds terrorists.

Copyright and patent laws protect intellectual property by giving the creator the exclusive right to derive financial gain from the work or invention, or authorize others to do so.

Thomas Jefferson was the inventor of the first Hideaway Bed ever patented in the United States. When the bed was not in use it was hoisted to the ceiling and secured by a complicated system of pulleys and ropes.

A patent urachus is an anomaly, and repair is recommended for these defects occurring at birth.

President Obama invented the Obama phone.

The powder mixes do not not expire, although after several months it may gain a stale taste.

Once it is prepared, like fresh horchatas, it can start to sour within a couple hours up to 3 days.
