rwolf Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Hello to all.Someone knows about if exist some Patent right for Drip Tanks? Many tanks
Earthling789 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 This is why Patent Lawyers exist... to perform these searches... Or, you can do it yourself... patents are public domain info, and free to search, but even if you don't find an existing one which covers your idea, a Patent Lawyer would be necessary when you file for a patent, so they can verify your idea does not infringe on an existing or pending patent.I have two patents (in my name, but corporate property), and both required years to file, thousands and thousands of dollars, and a team of corporate lawyers to solidify!
rwolf Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 "or pending patents"This is the issue... because I already make a lot of searches and don't find any patent... But can this patent that I have see pending status?How can I know this?
Earthling789 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Pending patents are not searchable by the public... for this, you need a patent clerk or patent lawyer to search those records. No, they don't make it easy, but we are talking about protected intellectual property
FXRich Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 If you are copying something made in China I wouldn't worry too much about it, they have no idea what intellectual property is, nor do they care. Just about every vape tank, RDA, RBA, and other vape hardware has been cloned.
rwolf Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 One friend want build a tank to sale but someone inform him about an existing patent!We try find this patent but unfortanely we don't find it...Can be a bluff or can be this patent pendent? And if is pendent, the author have rights under other products produced?
FXRich Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 To be safe you could change the design slightly. If I remember right according to US law you only have to change it by 10% I could be wrong though. Don't know what the law in Europe is though.

And is valid before come public under products sale before?

And is valid before come public under products sale before?These are questions that a patent lawyer could answer, which is why consulting one would be a very good idea.
FXRich Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Patent US3200819 - Smokeless non-tobacco cigarette - Google Patents.url E-cigarette patent wars A case of the vapers The Economist.url This may help you. The oldest patent dates back to 1903, long expired. I find it amusing that a lot of the recent patents are from big tobacco companies.

rwolf Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 I already do search by the patent title and by author name and anything comes!
iQuit Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Did you get a Cease and Desist letter from the author or his/her lawyer? If so, your best bet is to consult a lawyer who specializes in IP law

If so, your best bet is to consult a lawyer who specializes in IP lawMy friend receive this information: U.S. Serial No. 14/259.962, filed April 23, 2014 entitled "Personal Vaporizer System"from the author we think, by facebook!

FXRich Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Personally I don't believe much on Facebook, out of curiosity I ran that number through a search at the US Patent office, invalid patent number is what came up.
