Patents and Patent Law

This is likely a Stevens 315 I also have a hammerless double barrel shotgun but it has J Stevens Arms Company Chicopee Falls Mass patented April 20 1915.The way I was told to tell what model it was,by the length of the upper tang.The model 315 has a 2 5/8" Tang and a model 515 has a Tang of 2 7/8".My gun is the model 315 and from the J Stevens name I have been told that it was made between 1915 and 1936.As far as the value goes I have seen them go for between $250.-$400. I got mine at a garage sale for $100. 5 years ago.

Like any chemical compound, cocaine will deteriorate over time. The timelime usually depends on how it is made, if it is cut with another substance like baking soda, and how you store it.

Since it is highly improbable you will get to choose how the cocaine is made, or if it is cut by the time you buy it, the only thing you personally can control is how it is stored. The best way to extend the shelf life is by keeping it dry and in a dark place, and if possible, sealed in an airtight container or bag. If the cocaine seems moist, you can place it (likely in it is own bag if it is in powder form) in a bag of rice. Doing this will remove any excess moisture.

Deep freezing also aids in perserving the chemical structure. Just like frozen vegetables are the closest thing you'll get to fresh produce without actually buying it fresh, freezing cocaine will cause the molecules to slow down so they age much slower.

The inhalation of aged cocaine is not likely to pose any greater bodily threat than what it already causes when it is fresh.

Oxygen and water are the main degradation factors involved. Oxygen, specifically due to the free radical ozone causing oxidation. Water attracts oxygen so that's why removing water is important.

Light from common sources contains some amount of UV. UV can degrade the cocaine directly, and indirectly. UV plus water makes ozone, and oxygen and UV make ozone which oxidize cocaine.

I would surmise that a properly produced high grade uncut cocaine could last indefinitely if stored in light free, ultralow oxygen and low humidity conditions.

I know of no reason that cocaine should spontaneously decompose, its not like ethylene chloride gas or nitroglycerin!

The patent owners and lessors industry deals with the sale of intangible rights in property.

This is a recoil pad for the butt of a gun.Sold primarily in 1936 37 38 by the Red Head Brand in Chicago IL.

In 1794, American inventor Eli Whitney patented the cotton gin, a machine that revolutionized the production of cotton. Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin revolutionized the cotton industry in the United States. His machine could generate up to fifty pounds of cleaned cotton daily, making cotton production profitable for the southern states.

If by "script" you mean "screenplay", you can't get a patent on it. You should be trying to get a copyright.

Technically, if your script has been written, it's already protected by U.S. copyright law. Once any original work of authorship is fixed into any tangible medium (in this case, once it's written down), it is protected by copyright.

However, to get many substantive protections, you should register your work with the U.S. Copyright Office (see related links). For clarification, you can also see the related links for explanations of the difference between copyright and patent.

Pharmaceutical companies, when designing a drug, obtain a patent so that no other company can manufacture the same drug. This patent typically lasts 17-20 years. After the patent has expired, any other company can manufacture the same drug. This is where generic drugs come in. They are the same active ingredient, dose, dosage form, route of administration, and are tested and shown to be bioequivalent. Thus, drugs that were once on patent can have a generic equivalent that is much less expensive to the consumer but work the same as the brand name drug.

i dont know either

As I have researched this extensively, the patent that Merck holds on Maxalt expired on June 29, 2012. However, Merck has been granted a 153 day extension which would run to nearly the end of 2012. No word yet on any further extensions. Maxalt is very expensive and as a sufferer of cluster headaches, this is the only medication from some two dozen I have tried that works every time. I can only hope the patent is allowed to expire so that generic brands at lower costs will be made available.

Is a pending patient (provisional) or a granted patient (non-provisional), considered an asset in a civil suit which could be awarded to a plaitiff if the judgment is in their favor? Could a portion of any future profit on such a patient be awarded to a plaitiff in a civil action?

yes. check patent office site!

Nobody, but Elbert R Robinson, an African American inventor, received a patent for an improved electric railway trolley in 1893. This was not the first electric railway trolley.

who has the patents award in the 1950's for automatic video scanning and inspection methods which led to a bar code technology?

There are two basic types of utilty patents: the non-provisional and the provisional application. Both types of patent applications are held in confidence by the USPTO, they will not show your application to anyone. Design patents are always non-provisional applications.
